Keep Your Receipts

So here’s a question: how long do you keep receipts?

My standard policy used to be, say, until I felt like getting rid of them. But after a massive reorganization, I’m keeping them for a year. That got me to thinking, though… do I really need a parking receipt from March? How about when I got a bagel in May? It might be overkill.

Is one year too short a time? It might be nice to look up what groceries I bought in April of 2003….

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
