Takeout Menu Organizer

Since the New Year is often all about getting organized, I wanted to be sure to share this idea with you. This is my Takeout Menu Organizer. It's simply a binder filled with pocket dividers, like this.

Each pocket is labeled by type of restaurant, and inside each pocket I include menus from restaurants.

I also include coupons. I think I have more pizza coupons in this section than anything else. We seem to get a lot of those in the mail, don't we?

I can't even tell you how handy it has been having this thing put together. When we want to eat out, but we can't decide where, we flip through this binder to jog our memory.

Or, when we do know what we want, but we don't want to go and eat there, we have the menus easily accessible for ordering in.

Plus, it's just a great way to corral all those restaurant coupons that tend to get stuck to the fridge and forgotten about.

You can put one of these binders together relatively quickly, but if you'd rather just buy one, check this out.

Isn't it pretty and tidy looking? You can find it at Knock Knock and it sells for $21.00.
They even include an order pad, a pen, and takeout tips including a handy tip chart.
Here's what their pocket dividers look like.

I love mine, and I think you need one, don't you?

RESOURCES: I've had questions about the pocket dividers. I used Oxford Letter Size Slash Pockets which I got at Staple's. I would think that most office supply stores would carry them as well. I also got the 1" view binder at Wal Mart, but of course, you could find that at the office supply store as well.
