  • I have a spreadsheet (very simple one) that lets you put things in that you have bought and totals up what you have saved/spent etc. It does a lot more but I'm not explaining it very well! Its also password protected!!

    This was given to me by another MSE'r and i'll happily forward it on, just PM me with your email address and i'll send it on ASAP.

    a section for receipts? You could use one of those polypockets or plastuc envelope and put in your folder after punching out holes for the binder
