You need to keep some, otherwise if you return in Wilko, they won’t let you exchange if you don’t have your till receipt.
Pauline, It’s funny you should say that as these are the bags of receipts l need to sort, or dispose of.....

I am feeling very embarrassed....

Security Alert... l have decided to remove the pic as my bank numbers might be able to be deciphered!

I always keep petrol receipts when I’ve filled up, at least a week..

Re: What Do You Do With Your Till Receipts?

I've never been good with those little bits of paper and checking bank statements to see if I've been ripped off. I just do a mental thing like round it all up or down see if looks about right.

But now I'm paying for lots of little bits, coffee, burger, beer, contactless! more little bits of IZAL, more confusion, more scope for rip offs.

Re: What Do You Do With Your Till Receipts?

I was shocked at how many receipts I had collected.

I didn’t dare add them all up....

You do check them, don’t you?
Any receipts over $100 for a single item I keep.
I have a expanding file for high dollar receipts and user manuals. I also keep the box the item came in (used to drive my wife crazy), but if I decide to sell it later I have the box it came in and the manual.
Any other receipts check them and toss them in the rubbish.

I keep them for 2 reasons
1, just in case there’s a problem with the stations anpr and think I’ve driven off without paying
2, if there’s any issues with the quality of fuel that causes damage to the engine/ fuel system then I have proof of purchase….

Re: What Do You Do With Your Till Receipts?

Keep clothing etc sperate until I am satisfied especially as you cannot try anything on these days at all. Usually within the same week if being returned. Shopping I self scan with the doodah hand scanner as I walk round like that keep old receipts in an old biscuit barrel then burn once kinda full.

Re: What Do You Do With Your Till Receipts?

It depends what the receipts are for.
Grocery store bills get tossed right way
Things we’ve purchased that may need returning we usually keep for a while and then throw them out. When we had our small business, we kept them all.
