It's not for tax purposes
, it's because my husband is a banker and likes to keep track of every cent we spend. You should do it, you'd be surprised how all those two dirham purchases can add up over the month. We've also discovered a few frauds on our credit card by ticking of our receipts each month.

Re: Stop Giving Me Receipts!!
I just do that in my head, I set myself an allowance for the month and don't go over it, simple. If there are unexpected expenses then I have a debate with myself to see if I really need the said items, or dip into the emergency fund.
I certainly don't need to go through loads of receipts... Jeez, I have better things to do, like post trash on here.

Yeah, but at least you get the enjoyment of beer and jelly sweets - ours goes on ballet, cello lessons, singing lessons, tennis lessons, footy, school fees and all the clothing and accessories that go with that stuff. Bloody kids!!

I take it that a girl is doing these things, or do you have a budding Billy Elliot in the family?

My son is def no Billy Elliot, though we did have dogs named Billie and Elliott. My girls are pretty good at what they do but still need technical coaching provided by professionals. At the school my eldest went to in Australia, a stringed instrument is compulsory in year 3 and she has carried on learning.

Don't keep cash reciepts, but we try to put most things on credit card.
We always keep those receipts and cross reference monthly against the bill.
We have found lots of errors that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.
In fact a frightening amount
