DQOTD: Saving Paper Receipts?

[Music Lover]

I only save receipts for big ticket items and things still on warranty. Everything else gets tossed. One of my year end rituals is to go through the year's paperwork and purge as much as possible...items where the warranty has expired or I no longer own it get tossed.

I also used to save my utility bills, but there's no point in that any longer as it's all online.

Have a Scan Snap S1330i that I scan most paper doc receipts about once every one or two weeks. Takes no more than 15 min. I have an online filing cabinet on my Mac that I file the pdf's, then shred the original. This includes all CC statements, mortgage docs, tax returns, misc docs....etc. Absolutely LIFE CHANGING. I had Rubbermaid totes for years. All scanned and done. I can find most any receipt in less than a minute. Of course, I backup regularly but everyone should be anyway.
