I figure no one will ever look in that drawer because grannie pannies are just too scary. LOL<BR/><BR/>I do save receipts for things I've bought that could stop working before the ten minute warranty expires or DVD's and CD's, until I know for sure they work. Other than that, not so much. But I always tape the receipt for anything that comes with a manual, inside the book.<BR/><BR/>No receipts in my kitchen. Lots of other junk, but no receipts. :-)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078572615133867629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-2306234492555735332008-02-13T17:00:00.000-07:002008-02-13T17:00:00.000-07:00I have tried so hard starting this year, to keep a...I have tried so hard starting this year, to keep all my receipts in order, and so far, I am doing pretty good!!!

I put them behind the month, and next year when that month rolls around, I go through the old receipts and send them through the shredder. That way I know I have a receipt for anything that has a warranty which is often one year. Very quick, very easy and nice and neat on my office shelf.Girl Raised in the Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589779898471579630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-25914425784123496522008-02-13T14:49:00.000-07:002008-02-13T14:49:00.000-07:00Lol your weather is very changeable isn't it?

We are revelling in sunshine...well we were before it got night :) Though you never know tomorrow might be blizzards, it's a strange old world.<BR/><BR/>I've been working my way through my receipts recently. I keep my supermarket receipts until I get the statement from the bank just to check nothing extra has gone through, then I shred them. I keep appliance receipts for about 2 years. I keep major household receipts for as long as the guarantee lasts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-58227187202860914732008-02-13T11:41:00.000-07:002008-02-13T11:41:00.000-07:00I'll tell you what... you can win a title when you...I'll tell you what... you can win a title when you can come to my house and organize my receipts... and, KITCHEN! lol!<BR/><BR/>You go girl... little steps indeed!GiBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717697386035335817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-91558411552925543722008-02-13T11:18:00.000-07:002008-02-13T11:18:00.000-07:00On days like today aren't you so glad you work at ...On days like today aren't you so glad you work at home and don't have to leave?<BR/><BR/>Great title, wish I'd thought of it :)<BR/><BR/>I keep my day to day receipts for a year by the month in separate envelopes. <BR/><BR/>Were you surprised at how quickly it was to go through them?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867964298149410340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-87145729667069448492008-02-13T10:17:00.000-07:002008-02-13T10:17:00.000-07:00That storm is supposed to hit us, today!

(mainly in case we ever get audited). we have a file folder in our basement office for each co like "verizon", Visa, etc.<BR/>as for clothing/books/gifts,etc. I just save until I get the credit card bill and then compare and shred as soon as bill is paid.

That pile does not include any household expense reciepts for such things as utilities, groceries, insurance, etc. We do have an accordian file for "important" reciepts.

We file all receipts in it for the year, then buy new ones the following January and start all over.<BR/><BR/>By the way, your window looks beautiful with all that snow plastered on it. Today it's actually (sort of) similar here...cloudy, rainy and windy. Very unusual for Florida, but a VERY nice change of pace. I have candles lit in the house and it's so cozy!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898848282799974114noreply@blogger.com
