The tracking y management of paper receipts

[Sidewinder]

A generation or two ago, the thing you were SUPPOSED to do with receipts from transactions where a credit card was used was to store yes STORE the receipts somewhere safe until your credit card statement came in the mail.  Then you would audit the statement against the receipts and either find no discrepancies, or find yes discrepancies and then call the CC company and proceed thence.

 

Many things have changed:  Card transactions are wayyyy more common, people are carrying a greater quantity of cards, online banking privies you to whatever info the bank has on your transaction without you having to wait for your statement.

 

I have a billion credit cards, too many debit cards, and thus a sea of receipts that I'm clueless about how to handle.

 

Do you have an organizational system for managing yours?

Receipts schmeipts.

Receipts for larger purchases which may have some warranty, go into a folder for that product.  Other receipts get tossing into a box where they sit until they are about 90 days old (I will return something within 90 days if it doesn't work out), then they get shredded.

Which, is what I said basically.
