I use Quicken and categorize the entries.  As for the actual receipts they go into a file folder hopefully never to be seen again.

I have 12-15 labeled hanging file folders in a file cabinet. I move these to a tote every year end. Check out neat receipts and also the Fujitsu scanner for scanning receipts. Also, the app scannable is interesting as an Evernote product.

Hardcopy receipts go into my paper file, emailed or electronic receipts get "printed" to my OneNote file and then monthly, everyone along with my bank statements get reconciled on my Excel spreadsheet.  I scan my paper receipts into PDFs and then toss them once scanned, so I only end up with electronic files and no shoeboxes or massive file folders!  

 

I take it you are working on your taxes?  :-)
