Use this if:
- you need to keep receipts, for example for returning items or budgeting, and
- you currently do not have a single place for them and/or your purse is overstuffed
You will need:
- a ringbinder
- 14 plastic wallets
- 14 sticky labels (or a labeller), or 14 sheets of paper to fit into your plastic wallets
- a pen
Or, for the recycled/free version:
- a shoebox
- 14 A5 envelopes (used is fine, as long as they are opened along the top edge and basically otherwise intact)
- a pen
Now set up your system:
- label one envelope or wallet ‘2015 receipts’
- label the next twelve envelopes or wallets ‘Jan receipts’, ‘Feb receipts’, etc.
- label the final envelope ‘Bank slips’
- place in order in your shoebox or folder
- find a place for this which can be accessed easily
- clear up as required (sticky label backing, wrappers etc to bin)
- revel in having created a little patch of order!
