Damn, some of you are really A-O on the bills, receipts, and stuff;
I guess being an unemployed bum, with no income and just some
monthly bills lulls me into complacency. Even with all my free time,
I'm not sure I would save/record/review all that stuff to that intensity;
but, other than getting our ID copped a couple years ago, I have
never really had a need to pull out a cancelled check from 3 yrs ago
or, wonder what my $80 a month elec bill was doing in '02...

Forever..

#1 Reason - If you're ever a victim of identity theft, you may not know it for a couple of years. And in order to clear your name, you will have to show information that proves it was not your phone bill, not your address, etc.

I had to go back six years in one case.. So now I just put it all in a bin, seal it and bury it in a back part of my storage and hope I never need to get to it.

I just bought a big Fellowes shredder with turbo shred from Costco. They have $20 coupon in coupon booklet which started this week.

At my local Costco the service desk gives a coupon book anytime I ask them. Also if you know a particular item has coupon, tell the person at register and they will scan from their booklet. I have tried that at Hanover Costco too.

Thanks for the tip, you were 100% right, got the book from customer service, and got the $20 off!

Thanks!
