How do you keep track of your receipts?
-
I am especially talking about the receipts you are getting in restaurants or supermarkets. Do you and if, how do you manage them?

Answer:
I keep other types of receipts. I use extra large (yellow ones) envelopes that are labeled by types of receipts, along with the year and I keep them in a file box container and they don't fall out or get lost. You could always do it by month instead of just year, if you wanted. You could always keep a ledger too and write all the info. down as you go, depends on how you want to do it. There are scanners made just for keeping track of receipts as well, so that is another option.

I personally put each receipt in a box on my desk and clean it out once a month matching them to my bank account statement. I then print (or save to my personal computer) my monthly statement to file and throw out the receipts that do not fit one of the three categories below. You do not need to keep all of your receipts. The only time that you should keep a bill or receipt: You are making a purchase in cash or a cash equivalent that is not associated with a personal financial account: Money Order, Prepaid Debit/Credit Card, Gift Certificate, or Gift Card. The purchase is a separate expenditure from your budgeted bills that relates directly to your home improvement/maintenance, automobile repair/purchase, business expense, or healthcare. You intend to return the item, reverse the transaction, or use this information as proof of purchase in the future. Any other type of payment creates a transaction in an account to be reviewed or presented for accounting as needed. If you are serious about keeping proof of all of your receipts/bills then your best friend is a ledger. If you keep an accounting of each of your payments on a ledger that corresponds with your financial accounts then you will never have to keep all of those extra receipts/bills.

I use https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1033314636 - it snaps receipts in a blink and then stores them on Dropbox, deleting the original from your phone, so you never have to worry about having too many receipts with you. It all lives in the cloud, safe and secure. Accessibly any time you want.
