How to keep your receipts
Keep all your shopping dockets and receipts for reference and refunds. Bundle them up in monthly lots then into six monthly in ziploc bags. I keep them for two years in a shoebox. Filing your bill receipts into a folder for future reference by kind but for now just keep them! (see below.) I do take out any bundle that is more than 2 years old. Use your spending notebook to find the date of item if you need to make a refund if it didn’t have a warranty with it, which should be on file with your warranty.
What to do with your receipts?
You may need these at anytime to answer any question that you can think of. Like the finding ways, to find another area that you may save money. e.g. Price book, proof of purchase, finding info to make a pet budget etc.
I do make many a charts to track my utilities like kWh and water KL part of my bills. The number of phone calls to check if I am getting the best deal at the time. Tracking amounts on Banking statements for interests, ATM, or extra bank charges that I stop or charge my habits to save money. All these little things do save money if you keep your I eye on them! All this should be reviewed every six months or yearly.
Notes: Spending notebook is my daily spending tracker for my monthly budget checking.
Pet budget - yes, my cats do have they own budget amount with the goal of spend under that amount each month.
