ABSTRACT:
A record keeping holder having a C-shaped or U-shaped bracket for removably holding a tape marker flag dispenser containing multiple tape flags of various colors and a writing surface suitable for recording information pertaining to food items placed in a food storage unit, such as a refrigerator or freezer. The holder is provided with a color coded bar adjacent to the writing surface having color indicators that correspond to the tape flag colors and a writing instrument holder adapted for removably holding a writing instrument. In use, a single tape flag is placed on a food storage container to designate, in conjunction with the writing surface, what food item is contained therein. Later retrieval of the food item is facilitated by the sighting of the tape flag corresponding to the color indicator adjacent to the description previously recorded on the writing surface. The holder is adaptable for being removably attached to a vertical metallic or non-metallic surface such as a refrigerator or freezer door, making the record keeping holder readily visible and accessible to persons seeking to store or retrieve food, such as leftovers or pre-prepared meals, from the refrigerator or freezer. Several alternative embodiments are available including the use of an erasable surface, a card holder with pre-printed or blank cards, a dispenser cover to match kitchen decor, a holder that utilizes the dispenser packaging and a single piece record keeping holder.
