Hi Nikki! Thank you for sharing this product! I not only have to organize my own receipts but do this also for others in preparation for tax filing. I would be interested in knowing how you categorize your receipts and which ones you keep vs. discarding/shredding. A video with suggestions on how to categorize receipts would also be extremely helpful in preparation for tax season. Just a suggestion. Thanks again for sharing your tips and creative ideas for home keeping and organization!
AtWorkWithNikki I'm horrible when it comes to paper clutter I don't know how to do it and I don't like to do it. But since I decided to have all those important paper numerised or donlowded directly. It save me a lot of time. Everything is well organized on my computer and in less of 5 minutes I got the document printed
Hi Nikki! Are you still using Neat? We have the original one and I never kept up the practice. What do you suggest? It is a new year so I may try to go back to it.
Hi Nikki! I was wondering where you purchased the clear plastic folders that house the pouches. I liked the looks of them in a previous video you shared and I think they would work well for me. Are you planning on doing a video of the filing system/organization of the desk drawer? I would be really interested in seeing what you house in the files. It looks so neat and tidy. Thanks for sharing!
chrisrules1014 I want to say either office depot or staples. I think they both have them. I am sure a filing drawer video is coming. It is on my to do list already. Thanks for asking. Hope all is great your way. Nikki
Thanks Nikki! I can't wait for your video on the filing drawer. We are moving from PA to VA sometime in the next several months so I have been reviewing your moving videos recently. Very helpful! Thanks so much.
This is really timely for me! I am investigating getting a proper accounts package for my role as treasurer of a local charity, as the turnover is bigger than many small businesses. This would help so much with the vast amount of paperwork I have. Thank you Nikki!
Julie Quick So glad you found it helpful Julie. I know what you mean. I am excited to be able to not have to store receipts manually. Hope all is going great your way and thanks so much for watching. Nikki
What if you made a purchase and need a receipt to return it? Without a receipt would someone at customer service accept a scanned image of the receipt? I would think that still having the paper copy, but neatly stored would assist.
Angela Walton-Raji Great question Angela. Not 100% sure, but I do know that now many stores are offering paperless receipts( emailing them to you). I don't think a scanned receipt would be a issue with a return. I also use my card for purchases so that is always a simple returned, but I will definitely keep you posted if I ever encounter a issue.
I copy my receipts all of the time, especially because the receipt paper the stores are using now has ink that disappears. I have never had a problem taking in a copy receipt. When they scan the barcode if it shows that the item has not been returned they process it, with no problem. I have been wanting to try this product for the longest. Thanks for sharing.
Yes we do if it have that bar code or the onfor we need to do the return you will get it no matter what you do not need to keep the original a copy will due just fine
Mike Klein Depending on the store they can pull up the receipt with the last 4 of the card and the purchase amount. Many just don’t want to because it takes a few minutes.
I really like this scanning and importing g process, thanks. Also was looking back to see if you have a video on those binder organization and the style and font size for the spines
Great video. I don't have a business, but do I have receipts. I swear they multiply overnight! I may have to look into the scanner. I see many uses for it to eliminate paper at home. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day!
question....been using the neat scanner for two days now and as i was scanning into the receipt folder, i noticed 2 receipts was in the document folder (don't know how it got there), but anyway, how can i move the receipts from the document folder to the receipt folder? appreciate a response please...thanks
Hi Nikki! I love, love, love your channel. This was so helpful. Do you still use this method? If not, is there another video where you can share the latest tips on maintaining receipts? Thanks!
Thanks Nikki, I've wanted a neat, but based on the bad reviews I passed. My question is how do you return an item if you don't have the original receipts? Please keep us updated. I always look forward & appreciate your wonderful videos ❤️
Dallas Duchess I will definitely keep you posted on the Neat. So far so good. The reviews on the one we got were much better than that of the bigger models. You know now some stores going to paperless receipts with offering you the option to have your receipt emailed to you. I don't think scan receipts are a issue, plus we always purchase with a card so returns are simple, but I will let you know if I encounter a problem. Great question! Hope all is going great your way. Nikki
HelpMamaRemote So glad to share this with you. I am trying to streamline with paper. It can get so overwhelming. I am excited about the new system. Hope your doing great. Nikki
This was very helpful. Wondering 2 things...did you scan in any past year receipts (before 2014) and then discard the paper for those years? And secondly, do you have a video on how you file home repairs service orders/receipts and warranties and service plans. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks.
AngieMo43 Thanks Angie we just recently got the scanner, so we have not discarded 2014 receipts. With it being tax time we will keep scanned copies and submit those this tax year, then discard. I don't have a video on how I file those home items. I will put that on my list of video to do, but that video would definitely be one that I share on my other channel "At Home With Nikki". Thanks for the suggestion and hope all is great your way. Nikki
I found this video really helpful. I wanted to ask you what program do you use to keep your business accounts in order quick book, excel etc. I'm started my own business bit I am not sure if I need a bookkeeper or I can just do it myself.
Can you PLEASE make a video on your binder organization. That looks like a great system. If you already did a video of that, can you send me a link? Thanks!! Löve yoür videos Nikki!
Thinking about receipts, works for tax's and notes. But do you still hold on to receipts for returns. Would a biz take a scan n printed receipts? We are overrun by receipts 😁TFS jan
***** Should not be a problem. Someone else commented on this video stating they also had no problem using printed receipts. Some places now will email you your receipts instead of printing them (I can see this coming in the near future for many places). Great questions Jan! Hope your doing great. Hugs. Nikki
Hi Nikki....I enjoyed this video but seems like the audio wasnt quite right around the NeatReceipts discussion....strictly fyi. Thanks for great content!
ptt218 Yes...I am having audio issues currently (sorry about that). I am trying to resolve it but have not been successful to date. So you may hear a skip here or there until I can figure out a fix. Hope it wasn't to disruptive to the video. Nikki
I'm sure I need to get over my fear of going paperless because the way of the world is via computers. However, I feel better knowing I have a paper copies of my bills, the actual receipts just in case my computer shoots craps or I get hacked by some online boogieman. I like having a safety net and know I could still function with my paper bills and my actual checkbook (that rarely sees the light of day). I'm one of those that still has a landline phone in case satellites go out again and I need 911 services. Please let us know how you feel after taxes and perhaps a follow up review next year too.
When I was young I was young (about 2) I was called on to explain how receipts get creases on the corners due to an episode of Remington Steele. I recall someone said "Because God chooses that it happen" I said "Well, yes, but how does God decide?" Then Richard P Woodard kicked my ass. I think it has something to do with how the corners are tucked. I do remember one simple rule, wait 0.3 seconds, and a crease won't form.
Do stores even accept a scanned version or would they whine about the original printed person. Otherwise, I could just take a photo of the receipt with my smartphone.
Marlena Rainey Great question Marlena. It gives you the capability to export the data to quickbooks (which is what we use to manage the financials) so works out great. Thanks for watching. Nikki
Ezzy E Hmmm. That would be neat. I am sure they will probably come out with one in the future. You know how technology is (changing and updating all the time). Thanks for watching. Nikki
Hi Nikki, 2 years later, do you still like this scanning method?
Hi Nikki! Would you please do an update or a new review for this scanner? I would love to know your thoughts about it a year later? Thanks.
Hi,
I am new to your channels and I am loving it. My question is where does the Neat save the information?
Thanks again
Thanks Nikki will check this out, my hubby and I have a small business and this would be great for business and home. Thanks for sharing!

How do you make the outside labels for your binders?
Love the idea not only for the receipt but invoices and all theses important paper
netifert Great idea! Thanks for sharing that. Hope your doing great. Hugs. Nikki

Could you tell us where you buy your binders?
Thanks!

What app/program do you use to store your reciepts on the computer? Trying to learn for my husband's business. Advice please.
Thanks for sharing I was thinking about getting one. I think this is something I really need. I'm also going to keep my receipts for a year as well.
I really like this scanning and importing g process, thanks. Also was looking back to see if you have a video on those binder organization and the style and font size for the spines

Are you still using your Neatreceipts? I purchased one but I am Leary about throwing away the receipts. Interested in how it's going for you.
Thanks Nikki, I've wanted a neat, but based on the bad reviews I passed. My question is how do you return an item if you don't have the original receipts?

Thanks for sharing. I've always wondered how those electronic filing systems work. I'm still a paper kinda girl with a lot of things.

Löve yoür videos Nikki!
Thank you, so much for your helpful videos. You are very well organized.
For the receipt binder, where did you get the zipper pouches to put int he binder? Nikki Boyd
Sonya I believe office depot or staples.
What an awesome gadget! I like the idea of going paperless...much more organized and neat that way :)
***** We are excited about it. It has been working out great so far. So true. Hope your doing great. Nikki
AtWorkWithNikki Awesome! :D
I have a laptop that do sent give me the option to use disc is there another way to install the program to my laptop such as a usb?
Hi Nikki if I don't not have any business can I save my recited and filling next year for Income tax
I hate channels that flat out refuse to update. Trust me, she sees the need from her viewers.

Have you had any problems with the neat?? Is it worth the money. Thank you!
Hi, can you do how you organize client files?

i am so unorganized with receipts i use the standard shoe box not the best way to organize thanks for doing this i will be checking into this t4s

It's my understanding that they want you to pay a subscription fee. Is this not the case?
My husband could use this. I will research and perhaps give to him for his birthday.

You can just take a picture with your phone and iCloud the pictures or email them to yourself

Does the machine have the capability to show u what areas your money is being spent for Personal budgeting? Thanks for this video!
Marlena Rainey Great question Marlena. It gives you the capability to export the data to quickbooks (which is what we use to manage the financials) so works out great. Thanks for watching. Nikki
we want an update ;)
I wish they made the scanners the size of a phone.
Ezzy E Hmmm. That would be neat. I am sure they will probably come out with one in the future. You know how technology is (changing and updating all the time). Thanks for watching. Nikki
+Ezzy E There are Apps which allow you to scan
cool I will have to look into it
Nothing but an add to sell.
No good anymore. They went cloud base. And is useless without subscription.
