Organizing receipts

466583_billsClutterControlFreak has a detailed article about one method of organizing receipts. I admit I find this difficult: you’re on the go, you have only your handbag or pocket or wallet to stuff receipts into unless you want to keep them in the bag, and then when you get home you have to take them and put them somewhere, or you lose them (or worse, accidentally throw them out for identity thieves to find).

How do you keep track of receipts? Give me ideas in the comments, and I’ll make a post out of them later.

    I’ve got a great receipt organizer. The one I use is a drawer organizer from Rubbermaid. It measures 9″ long by 3″ wide and 2″ deep. I get the index card dividers with the alphabet letters on them , turn them over to the blank side and put the 12 months on them using a permanent marker. One pack with 26 letters gives me 2 years worth or keep one in your office and one in the car. At the end of the year combine them. Or you can put whatever category you like on them. It’s perfect for those little store receipts, gas receipts, credit card receipts, etc. I would put at the top of my list of favorite things along with clumping cat litter and the little bags that you dispose of diapers in (which I use for the cat litter clumps.
