Need help keeping track of receipts?

August 23, 2007

I stumbled across this pretty cool sounding web site earlier today. It’s called Shoeboxed.com. Basically it helps manage and track all of your online or physical receipts in one place, a “virtual shoebox”. This is great news as we can now reclaim one of the drawers in our kitchen where we have been stuffing receipts!

Wow, the COOL thing about this service is I will be able to pull up a receipt (if needed) from home, work, while on vacation…anywhere!

Not convinced that this might help you? Think about this, my parents had a house fire in June 2007 that destroyed everything. They are still in the process of dealing with their insurance provider, USAA, on content. They spent the better part of 3 weeks thinking of everything they owned and had to give an estimated cost and how long the item was owned. Image if ALL of this information was readily available online! Click click click, print! voila!!

If you needed to know if ShoeBoxed will also manage printed store receipts the answer from their FAQs is:

Yes! Take a digital photo of your receipts, or scan them into your computer. Then you can use the simple Shoeboxed Receipt Uploader which will automatically add these receipts to your Shoeboxed account.

So give them a look if you are like us and like to track receipts and not have them lost, or worse yet, thrown away!
