Coupon books: how do you organize them?

Here we are again. It's August and I've got two 2009 Chinook Books, which are virtually untouched, that will expire in three months. For those of you beyond Portland, Chinook Books are coupon books for green goods and services. Other cities like Denver, Minneapolis and Seattle have similar books, but they are called something else. These books are loaded with great deals for a wide array of businesses, and at $20 they quickly pay for themselves (that Miller Paint 2-for-1 coupon for no-VOC paint will pay for it alone). But what if you seldom ever use it, like me?

Every year I buy one or two -- mostly because I'm supporting a school or non-profit -- and every year I wonder why I can't get it together to actually remember to browse through, find coupons and use them. I'm not a good coupon user in general. But dang, people! I shop at the places in the Chinook Book. There is money to be saved here. I can remember to bring my reusable bags into the grocery store every single time, but not this? I've tried leaving them on the kitchen counter and in my car, but no dice. Hopeless.

So what's your technique? Do you rip out the ones you know you'll use and them file them in some handy organizer? Or do you just remember to browse the book before you go shopping?
