We shred everything that has our names/address/account numbers etc. So far this has not come back to bite me. IF it is a big ticket item, I keep the receipt in my purse for several weeks until we see that we do not need it any longer.Cherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477603895277790945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849355232148307656.post-54930432729731964002011-11-20T18:05:11.421-08:002011-11-20T18:05:11.421-08:00I have been thinking about getting a gift card for...I have been thinking about getting a gift card for each of the stores I frequent most often and then getting rid of the receipts I don't need.hawkins53103https://www.blogger.com/profile/01443430506870213314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849355232148307656.post-47772138350001024992011-11-18T15:55:22.093-08:002011-11-18T15:55:22.093-08:00We put everything on a rewards credit card and try...We put everything on a rewards credit card and try to pay it off every 2 weeks. Easier to remember 2 weeks vs 4. We look at the charges and make sure that everything looks ok. Most receipts get shredded every month. If I know I need to keep one, I put it in an envelope in my binder of stuff. Our credit card self sorts all charges and tells you at the end of the year how much you spent in each category. You can export the end of the year file into any finance program to further sort and track finances. We don't get that far in the weeds though.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564414408275934733noreply@blogger.com
