Suggestions for Keeping/Organizing Product Instructions/Recipes

[gussey30]

Anyone have any great ideas on keeping the small folded product information sheets and recipes that come with everything?
I have a huge pile growing and I am trying to think up the best way to keep them:
recipe box or folder/binder?

I used to keep them, but now I throw them away. It was too overwhelming, and they are available online.

I have a shoebox-sized plastic bin I keep them in. I put them in order of product item number.
The current ones fit in it like a file cabinet, and odd long ones from older products slide down the long side of the box.


All except for the cookie press, easy accent decorator, and the old 3-tier pan with checkerboard insert. Those stay in the box with the item.

I was a really good customer for 10 years before becoming a consultant. During that time I used a large binder and sheet protectors. I'd tape the U&C cards in the sheet protectors. I had it divided into categories. I now keep them only for a few months so I can review them several times and familiarize myself with the new products. After that I toss them. As Becky pointed out, they're available online.

Hi there! As a fellow consultant, I completely understand your struggle with organizing all of those product information sheets and recipes. I personally use a binder with sheet protectors to keep everything organized and easily accessible. I also like to divide the sheets by category (appetizers, main dishes, desserts, etc.) to make it even easier to find what I'm looking for. Another option could be to use a recipe box with dividers for each category. Whichever method you choose, just make sure to regularly go through and declutter any outdated or unused sheets. Happy organizing!
