Consumerism and the young professional lifestyle

When I first saw Knock Knock's Take-Out Menu Organizer, I thought, "What sort of yuppie fool gets takeout so often that they need a special pricey binder for all the menus? Why don't people just cook, and save money on food and organization?"

However, like many of my kneejerk, "I would never" snobberies, this has come to an abrupt end. I have always been better at talking the talk than walking the walk, after all. With both of us working more than full-time, we now not only employ a dogwalking service on a fairly regular basis, we eat out several times a week. And I can never find a menu of the place I want to call, whereas we seem to have duplicates of all the ones we never use, and we don't really have a place for any of the menus, so they shift from drawer to drawer, always in the way except at mealtimes...

In short, we are pathetically bourgie and I am addicted to office supplies. And our menus are now tidily ordered by type of cuisine in the Knock Knock binder.
