Yeah, the tabs on my personal Gmail work pretty well in keeping down the clutter. Very little that ends up in Promotions needs to get looked at and I just delete the whole thing periodically. Updates grabs most of the rest.

I actually used to use a separate email address at Yahoo to handle all the ecommerce cruft but I find that Google does a good enough job of organizing that I don't bother any longer.

It's also not a bad idea to go on an unsubscribe mission every now and then.
