Help with organising receipts

meema4788 · 2015-01-05 00:02:18

Please can anyone give me some ideas as to the best way to keep receipts. I can never find one when I want one. It's not for tax returns etc it's just so I can keep them in some sort of order but don't kn the best way. Thanks!

I use an envelope and write on the outside the shop and the amount. I have 3 columns 1 for M&S card 1 for John Lewis card and 1 for cash & switch. When I write down the amount I put the receipt in the envelope and when the amount shows in my account I tick the amount written on the envelope. At the end of the month I seal the envelope and put it in a drawer then start the next envelope. Worked for me for years and makes it easy to find receipts if something breaks within their guarantee and has to be returned.
