Do you keep receipts?

pennysuedog · January 2013

The zipper on my boots broke and I bought them in November of 2010. I called the store up because they told me the boots had a lifetime guarantee on everything but the sole. MH bought them and he is good about keeping receipts. Well, he is not good at organizing them. We just spent over 2 hours looking through his receipts, he has kept every receipt since 2009. I mean every single one: burger king, gas station, ice cream cones at the park, car rental,movie ticket stubs and airline tickets. Crying

No boot receipt though! Angry He says he has bundles of reciepts at his work office too, so I'm crosssing my fingers it is there.

Do you keep receipts, and for how long?

I don't keep any receipts. We try and shop with stores where we don't have to show a receipt. Haha! Most of our winter clothes are Columbia, Sorell, or Mountain Hardware because they have a lifetime warranty and we have never had to show a receipt. Any electronics, we buy through SO's work because they keep all purchase orders and our receipt can be looked up by our last names. When we buy clothes from Buckle, it is on their computer system.

Oh actually we keep all receipts for when we travel or when SO travels for work....as all of his expenses his boss pays for for work travel and some expenses for our personal travel his boss with reimburse us for if SO met with a client for dinner or something.

Oh and I you are a receipt saver, I recommend the NeatDesk scanner. Super slim, it feeds the receipt through as it scans it on your computer and then you can put them in designated folders on the program that comes with it. Then you don't have to keep the receipt. And you can print the receipt later if need be. Plus if you have your taxes done by someone else, you can copy the needed folders onto a Zip drive or CD to give to them and it would be easy for them to go through.

I keep receipts but I wouldn't have kept boot receipts for 2 years. Did you buy them with a credit card?

That happened to SO's. He said he called them and they gave him a number to label the package and the address. He shipped it to them and they sent him a brand new jacket. Except his was like 8 years old and ugly yellow, they didn't have that one anymore. So they sent him a dark gray and black one that was the same style.

We got a guest pass to the Columbia employee store for Christmas. They also have Mountain Hardware and Sorell in there. I was like a kid in a candy store. And then our friend who works for them put us on the family list so we can get in whenever we want. That's bad news for my bank account!

Lucky!! So jealous!!! Also, that scanner sounds like a really good deal for your husband, Penny. I keep receipts for about a year, only for things like clothes and big ticket items. If I've purchased them at Nordstroms I don't keep the receipts due to their return policy.

Only for major purchases, like electronics. I probably wouldn't still have a receipt for a three year old pair of boots, either.
