Yeah. Never happened to me either. This week.
If you want an easier way to find the coupons you need when you need them, here's an idea!
Take a sheet protector and a sewing machine, and do this:

It's as easy as deciding how you want your sheets sectioned off, marking the lines with a pen and ruler, and sewing over the marks.
To do the "three-section" page, I:

~ sew along the top of the sheet to close off the opening
~ sew two over the horizontal marks I made earlier, STOPPING at about a quarter inch from the right side of the sheet
~ cut a thin strip off the right side to create openings for the new sections
To do the "four-section" page, I:

~ cut the pocket holes for the bottom sections in only one layer of the sheet protector
~ sew over the lines

Use these to organize your coupons by aisles, expiration dates, or categories. Then, put them in a binder with your grocery mailers, and you'll be ready to plan your shopping trips!
