Electronic Shoebox

Do you keep your important recipes in a shoebox? Many of us don't even do that. However, it is important to be able to locate receipts especially around tax time. I found this company that is trying to assist in that effort. It is a site that keeps an electronic "shoebox" for your receipts. You can mail them to the company, scan them, take pictures of them from you camera phone, or if you do online purchasing you can have the receipts emailed to them. Then they will electronically store the receipts for you. They have a system that automatically scans the receipts and categorizes them for you. It will use categories such as "Clothes," "Food," or "Retail," based on the merchant or product names. The site does charge a monthly fee depending on the level of service you require, but it is free to try for several months and sure would be handy come tax season.
