Working as a self-employed consultant and divorced mother of two teenagers, I found that by punching a few holes in a manila envelope and adding it to the back of my Day-Timer, I keep all receipts in one area.

Changing the envelope month to month enables me to work on filing all of the receipts in an orderly fashion.
