Kristen — I can’t imagine trying to track the register with kids in tow.

Donna — I enjoyed your post. I keep receipts for large purchases like appliances and televisions for years. On more than one occasion those receipts have been used to receive company paid returns and repairs.

Whenever this kind of thing happens to me I wonder, “What if they don’t believe that I bought only ONE bag?” Thus far, I haven’t had anyone challenge my word.
How long do you keep your receipts? I hang on to mine at least until my credit card statement shows up, and if it’s a big-ticket item I’ll keep it as long as I keep the item.
Recently I had a problem buying grocery store gift cards. If I hadn’t kept the receipt, I would have been out a cool $1200. Ack.

i HATE it when I don’t notice that kind of stuff at the store! Sometimes, I’ve loaded all four kids and the groceries into the car, and only then do I notice an error(in which case I just go back to the customer service desk the next week! lol).
