How To Organize: Depending on the number of sections the binder allows, designate each section per product group. For example: grocery, clothes, auto, health, school, beauty, dining, etc. If you have many sections, you could name them more specifically. For example: drinks, grocery items, dining out, clothes, auto gas, auto maintenance, school, work, cleaning products, lawn, etc.

To do this, insert tabs, sticky notes, or other indicators that show where the sections are divided.
