Honestly, that is the first time I have heard of that. Now, that makes sense. The people I know who keep receipts do it to balance their checkbook because they are spenders who can't keep track of all the money they burn through. Then they keep the receipts for forever. Probably someone long ago told them to keep their receipts and so they do but they don't know why they do.
