    All of it! I am a hoarder! I save everything but can never find it if I need it! Please don’t ever need to return anything to the store with the reciept at my house! I can find the reciepts I need from the last 5 years, but not that one…wait maybe it’s by the computer, no, those are for 8 other stores. See? I need this! Then my 81 year old legally blind mom starts cleaning up my stuff for me and then I really can’t find my docs and papers. :o)

  301. Melissa Dobbins says

    What type of paper clutter would you eliminate with the NeatReceipts Scanner?
    Oddly enough I have two things on my list for Christmas this year and this was the first one. I have been looking for a scanner to help “go green” by scanning in documents, receipts, etc that I need to retain. I’ve had the flat bed scanner before and it’s just not “simple”. I would also like to be able to scan my kids special papers from school to save and eventually make a photo/ memory book for them highlighting the special things like report cards and achievements. My husband would then love Deal Seeking Mom if I won because that’s one less gift he would have to worry about.
    I’m now subscriber of emails, am a fan on facebook along with The Neat Company now.

  309. Kelly Dickman says

    This would be so perfect for my husband who is an over the road truck driver and has to keep track of all his receipts!
