Life QotD: A Mountain of Receipts
What do you do with all the receipts you get? Which do you trash and which do you save, and how do you store them?
I am a super-duper receipt saver. It drives Adam completely bonkers. I think I have just about every receipt for things I've bought since 2000. I could probably round up the receipts for over half of my wardrobe. Crazy, right? Adam throws just about every receipt in the trash - this drives ms bonkers when I want to return something.
I have this blue-plastic tote thing I got from Staples, that keeps my receipts alphabetized. At the end of the year, when I am cleaning out a year's worth of bill/statements, I empty to receipt-holder and file away them away with that year's statements. Turns out, there no point in saving all that stuff. I purged a lot with my mom -- need to buy a shredder before the scary box of documents gets the heave-ho.
What drives Adam crazy is that it sometimes takes awhile for me to get the receipts into the blue-thingy, so they float around the apartment until then. He made a rule that I'm not allowed to save receipts that are for less than $20.
