I recently embarked on fixing up the old house. I have blogged a bit about it. The one thing I found that I was and am constantly going back and forth to a couple of different hardware store picking up big items and little items. All sorts of items I think I need. Like any hack handyman I end buying lots of things I just dont need and have to return.
What I have done is taken a larger size plastic freezer baggie, put it in a drawer that I walk by every time I come home and put my receipts in it. I probably have a entire receipt printer spool saved up in my bag from all of the trips I have been making lately.
Now when I have to return something I just sort through the bag and find the receipt I need and off the hardware store I go. This method has saved my bacon and saved me money a couple of times already this month. Right now I have a $10 of spray foam I dont need and next time I go back to the store I am just going to fish through the bag, find my receipt and get my money back.
Beats running all over the house looking for paper, having to go to the store with no sales receipt or just not getting your money back.
