Do you file them into seperate folders or dump them all together and then go through them at Tax time?

What do you do?

two large ziploc freezer bags...one for bills and one for receipts...each time they go into one of these bags( inside the china cabinet) and come the end of the year they are right there if we need them. have done this for 8 years now.

I have a file cabinet in our desk and I organize everything by month. I keep all the paid bills, paperwork, and recipts in a monthly folder. Then the following year, In that month, I clean it out and put the current year in the folder. It has helped! There have been times I need to have a receipt handy and I'm able to find it easily.

I have a divider that has a pocket for each set of bills- ie. gas bills go in one, electric in another, phone in another, etc. My reciepts all get tossed in a basket on my desk, then when I balance my bank statement against my checkbook each month, I go through the receipts toss the ones I don't need- ie. grocery ones or fast food receipts, and file the ones I may need for later ie. doctors office receipts, etc. in the last pocket of my divider.
