Ours are "organized" with a giant binder clip. How do you store your takeout menus? The Take Out Menu Organizer
from The Spoon Sisters is an over-the-top organizational tool for real neat freaks...
...a sturdy 2-inch binder that is impervious to water, kitchen grease and soy sauce. It comes complete with 30 clear sleeves for menu storage, an "order-taking" pad, "ratings" stickers, two ball-point pens, two dry-erase pens for marking favorites on clear sleeves, six pages for frequently called numbers, an accessories pouch and an essay on "The History of Takeout." Inside the covers are pockets for not-yet-organized menus.
Ours are in a napkin holder...in the cabinet.

In a plastic folder in a drawer in the dining room. No big system, but we do cull the herd from time to time to keep it up to date

..in a 3/4" binder with integral plastic sleeves that I bought for about $5 at a grocery/home store... I would never use "ratings" stickers, and have enough pens.. sheesh, what a rip-off!

Dang, Monica Gellar would be proud of that system! I agree with monika1, rip off! I just clip mine with a black binder clip and hang them on a nail on the inside of a cabinet door in my kitchen.

An essay on "The History of Takeout"? That's worse than the pens.
Mine are in a drawer in the kitchen, folded and tucked to one side.

Stuck to my fridge with magnets. I've maintained some habits from college that I don't mind keeping.

this folder is a piece of sh*t! a friend gifted me with it one xmas (since all i do is order takeout and never cook) and it fell apart. It's cheap. Not a good buy.

What a sorry attempt at enterprise.

ever since seamlessweb, they've been filed in the trash can.

i agree with monika. i just use a binder, plastic sleeves, insert a piece of paper so you can put menus on each side of the sleeve. mine has held up for 4 years.
put a pen in the side pocket of the binder to mark who's ordering what.

I'm sorry, but are they really charging almost 30 bucks for a trapper keeper?

Same as potluck. Everything gets ordered off of seamlessweb.

I, too, was gifted with one of these. It's at Salvation Army now.
It just seemed so unnecessary. Organized things should take up less room, not more. Maybe if you had a ton of takeout menus on hand, it would be worth it, but I don't.

Tossed willy-nilly into a draw, but note to self: check out seamless web

I keep mine in the clear sleeves of an 8x12 portfolio which I keep in the kitchen cabinet with my cookbooks. I don't use websites because their info isn't always up to date.
That organizer is ridiculous. I don't understand why anyone would need a ratings system for their take-out menus. If you've eaten there then you already know what you like. If you don't like anything there then you shouldn't keep the menu.
This would only work for an OCD-burdened matron of a boarding house. Or someone who lives directly in the city and has a constant rotation of out-of-town guests whom he/she needs to be self-sufficient meal-wise.

kit I'm with you--menupages.com. It's great not just for takeout, but for planning dinners out--you know exactly what's on the menu.
SO glad I could get rid of all those annoying papers blocking up precious kitchen drawer space.

I'm so glad I saw this post! Not because I plan to buy this binder; where would I put it? Nope, I'm going to grab me some binder clips before I leave the office. Thanks for the ideas, guys!

Mine are thumbtacked to a bulletin board on the back of the kitchen door.

Oh! I bought that for my mom this past Christmas. Haha, she loved it - it was perfect. And supercute.
There are seven of us, so we have a lot of menus with a lot of marks on them, and it just made everything so much easier. I had to scan and shrink some of the menus so they would fit in the sleeves.
But other than that, it is super cute and fun; and that's where we keep our menus.

Mine are stored in a ziploc bag with a bull clip on the corner so I can hang it from a rack in the kitchen.

I'm sort of amazed at the things people will pay for. I keep mine in the pocket of a clipboard holder.
