I always save receipts.......taught by example. My parents did, in fact they can come up with receipts for any major purchase they have made. It makes a fun record to look back on too!
I've saved money by having the receipt. Recently I'd bought a solar light for an area in the garden. Put it together, set it in the yard and........nothing. Didn't work. I had bought it before Christmas, didn't get it out to the yard until January. I had the receipt, so packaged it all back up and took it in for the refund this past week. It felt better to return it, rather than just toss it because of no receipt.
Also, I have to keep records of SSI monies spent for a client here...........so I've got a separate section for his receipts. What I really would love is an office in it's own room! I'm carving space out of the common area of the house & I miss being able to have my own office!!! There is enough book work here to fill an entire office!!!
