Few would argue the value of takeout menus–our first line of defense against starvation (or having to cook). And when those menus come with coupons, well, it’s money in the bank.
So why are these precious documents crammed into drawers, stuffed between phone books or tossed carelessly atop refrigerators–and always in places where we can’t find them when we need them?
To the rescue: Meadowsweet Kitchens’ Takeout Menus & Coupons organizer is too large and too yellow to get misplaced for long. Its eight pockets can be used to sort the menus by ethnic cuisine. (Stickers come with the book to make this easier.)
The 12 1/2-by-9 1/2-inch book also comes in blue and khaki. It costs $12 to $13.50 at Deanne’s Papers, 22 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville; Nutrition Network, 27W187 Geneva Rd., Winfield; and Vaughan’s Garden Center, 4700 Commonwealth, Western Springs, or online at meadowsweetkitchens.com (click on “individual consumers,” then on “journals and notes,” then on “specialized journals”).
