1. A three item night routine. 2. Start thinking "plant first." 3. Get the right tools to organize. 4. Buy things before you need them. 5. Up your credit card limit. 6. Lean in to "I don't know". 7. Get renters insurance. 8. Create one weekly enriching routine. 9. Stop self defeating emails. 10. Stop paying to store your money. 11. Break domestic tasks into spreadsheets. 12.

Just today I wrote an email that began with "Sorry for the delay! Here is the document." The crazy thing is I wasn't even late. They asked me to send it in within a week but then sent me 2 follow up emails within 2 days making sure I "didn't forget" so it automatically made me want to apologize. This is the first thing I'm going to change starting tomorrow morning!
Tip: start these on December 1st (or any time as long as it's not January 1st) because this creates a horrific sense of anxiety and when failure comes (which usually always happens when implementing a routine) the lack of starting on a milestone makes us give up. Starting it on an insignificant date allows us to fail and restart, fail and restart, failed and restart etc etc and accept that it's a journey of failure rather than a short-lived attempt at a "new us, new year". I kept all of my resolutions/ routines from last year by implementing this, and by that, you can say 'bonjour' to a new bilingualist and soon (in the next year) to by polyglot!
I have that "I will start on the 1st of next month" thought a lot ;-) 1st of January is no different. It unfortunately doesn't help me to stick to the new routine any better though... But I absolutaly agree, any day is a good day to start!
Yes, I agree! I've done this with habits I want to try tracking, bullet journal methods, etc. I think of it as the "dry run" period or the "soft opening" XD It also helps to see what things I do because it's popular (i lose motivation after 1-2 days) or if they really are helpful to me
#13 is so true. I get *all* my car maintenance done at the same place, everything from oil changes to major fixes. By getting to know the people there, I know I can trust them when they reccomend a fix and they've even given me free labor for some of those fixes. Not only is bringing my car in not the worst thing ever, but I also get some financial perks 👌🏻
I totally respect your suggestion to be comfortable saying "I don't know". We get so caught up in sounding intelligent that we forget that we put our reputation at risk if we're uninformed. I think if we're uncomfortable saying "I don't know" in conversations, we need to make an effort to get information from reputable sources on both sides of the issue instead of repeating what social media or our peers tell us.
This is a great list. Adobe scan (already downloaded) and 3 things before bed will be added to my life. I never wait on my taxes, especially since I file as a single person with only one form of income, and I saved up gradually this year for Christmas and felt so much better about it. All great tips and easily implemented!
Love your videos, Chelsea! As a 24 year old who's been watching your videos for the past year and a half, they have been an invaluable resource as I figure out this whole "adulting" thing. Thank you!!
Trying to raise your credit limit causes a hard check on your credit which will lower your credit score. It will balance out in time but it's worth noting for those that might be closely monitoring their scores, especially before a big life event/purchase.
been vegan for three years now and can definitely confirm that eating plant-based is way cheaper! (unless you buy mock meats and cheeses on the regular which is unnecessary). great video as always! so excited for next year :)
Georgia Alexandra Perisanidis Not where I live in the midwest. Most of our fruits and vegetables come from California and Chili, and they're damned expensive. Our growing season is about 4 months a year, so we can harvest our own fresh only for a couple of months, and that's only if you live where you can have a garden.
Same here, where I live fruit and vegetables are often expensive, even during the season. In some cases you may be able to go a little bit cheaper with your groceries, but more often than not it's the same amount or even higher!
in my parts of the midwest (lived in Omaha and the Chicago suburbs) produce prices vary a lot throughout the year yes, but even from store to store. I wouldn't say "really expensive" but I don't really know the alternative. However, when I break down my weekly grocery spending the more expensive items are always processed things (i.e. milks, cheeses, veggie burgers, etc.) compared to the produce. But obviously you have to use some prudence in buying things which fluctuate prices. At my primary store, avocados were $0.79 for a few months and then skyrocketed to $2. Then, it's not the season for avocado. Use this discretion with other produce too and you can reasonably afford produce.
@@HappiestVeganonEarth you can be an unhealthy vegan too! Last year 'me' was living proof, ramen and Oreos were all I ate. Just because you're vegan doesn't make you healthier than a carnivore/ vegetarian automatically. You'll have lower (no) cholesterol but that's the only thing guaranteed. It's healthier when done right (in our opinions), but it isn't always and a cleaner, low meat, low-fat diet from a carnivore can be healthier than some (if not most) junk food vegans
Vegetarian here! I can vouch for this saving money bit! I save a lot of money by not buying meat, anyone who tells you that not eating meat is expensive is lying to you!
Yaaaaay for tap!!! I have danced off and on for many years, and the "on" years are definitely better!! Tap is my favourite :) I wish you all the best on your new dance experience!
Thanks to Kimberly for writing down the list and thank you Financial Diet for sharing your wisdom with us. There are plenty of these things that I should start trying to implement in my life... Especially breaking tasks into spreadsheets. It sounds like a lot of work upfront, but it'll pay off in the end.
hahaha, my enriching routine actually IS time spent at the gym, this my most precious time and I love it! Have been training 3-4 times a week since 1995...
Chelsea, this is one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam in a while. Thank you for all the helpful hints. A lot of these we're already doing, but this is so helpful!!
Have to say as someone who already is using Adobe Scan I love it. I save digital scans of doctors letters, passport information and important documents to use on the go. It really is a fantastic app.
With a new job greeting me for the new year, where I have the opportunity to move up and be valued, I am more motivated than ever to meet 2019. These ideas are great and I want to try some out!
Im not super attentive when it comes to sponsored products on UA-cam videos, but Adobe Scan actually sounds like something that would help me! (I always put off taking pics of my business receipts because of the hassle of cropping and rotating each pic 😅)
wonderful !!! 🙌 This video really get you realize how much things we've already got in our life! and how many people we've got to know in the neighbourhood without to go anywhere else !!! just by changing the time we do the same routine activities we usually do! 😗 that's awesome, I'd say ! "very-very thank's!" I'd say !!!
I agree that the most important thing is to save money for unexpected things. These 15 things that we need to do differently so we can change the way we look at spending money.
Sooo..… completely unrelated to any of the content (which was great, btw), but I just had to comment that I absolutely love that lip color on your complexion... it looks amazing!
A regular exercise routine is good if you can stick to it. Health, mood, motivation and appearance all stemming from exercise. I put 4 hours a week into swimming and I've found that I still have lots of time it never eats into work or social life you findthe time to do these things where you were wasting the day without noticing it like sitting in bed on your phone for an hour.
Lots of great advice! Hardest for me is to get to know my local community. Most helpful would be the 3 item night routine. Definitely will try to apply them!
You are my spirit animal. I rely so much on spreadsheets that I almost defined my career choice by that. It didn't end up that way exactly (not yet) but I know I will find a use for it in my current career.
The one about social media and yapping about stuff you don't actually care about is so true. I'm guilty of it, and I've drastically cut down on it. As a result, social media is much less stressful now!
Not necessarily..if you consume a lot of food that is trucked/flown in from elsewhere then your carbon footprint isn't really reduced. Eating local produce and meat is the better way to negate pollutants that arise from food being transported across state and country lines
@@iDaisySix Only around 10% of the emissions of food products comes from transport. Meat and dairy consumption are extremely harmful for the climate no matter where they're from. Also remember that even the locally grown animals are many times fed with, for example, soy from areas that used to be rainforests in Brazil.
Saapasjalkasaukko Er, not in the US. I live in the midwest where corn and soybeans are grown. We grow so much that we have find foreign markets to buy our excess. No rainforests.
E Dennis Okay, so even in your case eating the initial product (soy beans) is still more climate friendly than eating the final product (meat) 😭 So much energy is lost (~90%!) when you feed the livestock compared to if you would consume the protein yourself.
See, this is why I love this channel lol I'm moving to Washington in a few months. During my last move to Alabama, it was so annoying to have to stuff a bunch of papers into my suitcase so the pdf app is seriously going to help me. I also don't like keeping papers around so that's a #minimalism win
Best way to put some of these into practice is to give yourself a goal of one week, then extend for another week and continue that way. Last year I went Paleo and alcohol free for 90 days. Initial goal was just a 30 day cleanse to detox (and of course save money.) Ended up extending for an additional 2 months and it wasn't even much of an issue.
Great content as usual! I am really curious about examples of your domestic and single event spreadsheets. As a list lover, I would love to expand my resources but am having a hard time visualizing how I would do so. Any links you can share?
Goodness I love the majority of this list! Some things I’ve been already kinda doing (like night routine to prepare clothes in the morning) while others I need to try out to see if they help me out in 2019 (and now!)
Amazing video, I had to keep pausing it to go download the recommended apps. Although I found Focus Keeper Pro pretty cool instead of the Tomato 🍅 one. SO HAPPY you shared your ideas and...to be totally honest, I forgot the “subject” of this video but am super stoked about putting your suggestions into play!! Especially the closet idea, genius!
good tips! love the leaning into "i dont know" bit - really good insightful suggestion there. thank you for such great content. even the sponsored app is pretty good. haha. :)
'rental insurance' is called 'home and contents insurance' in australia. these are genuinely good ideas, not sure if they fit my situation though but it's good to see a video that has actual advice!
In order to cause yourself to create new outfits with your existing clothes, just do laundry less frequently. This may necessitate the procurement of extra underwear and socks, but I find it to be so worth it.
I save so much money being vegan :-) Especially because I shop mostly in the bulk section (dry beans, nuts, rice, pasta, oats, etc) and the produce section, and I avoid packaging in those sections by filling up my reusable mesh produce bags. On special occasions I splurge on a vegan cheese wheel, which can be pricey, but overall being vegan is such a huge savings :-)
I saw a guy at whole foods once stick his hands in the bulk container with the Dates. I know he isn't the first and only person to do that. Since then I can't bring myself to buy anything from the bulk section. I hate getting prpducts plastic packaging but for now that's what I will be buying.
@@holey336 You do realize that someone stuck his/her hands in bulk containers of some kind in order to put the foods in question in the plastic packaging, right?
Depends on where you live. Where I live, most of our fruits and vegetables come from California (halfway across the continent) and Chili, and they're damned expensive. I live up north, so we can only harvest fresh for two months out of the year at most. I can't eat rice or very much wheat because I'm hypoglycemic and those things make me literally sick. If I eat pancakes or rice with beans, I pass out for 3 solid hours every time. My sister tried to go vegan when we were on a trip together where meat was expensive, and after 3 days, she ended up getting disoriented and walked away in the wrong direction into a crowd of people. I immediately took her to a restaurant and bought her cheap self a beef dinner.
Boy, rental insurance yes! I had a friend who shared an apartment and after a fire, he didn't have so much as a toothbrush or a sock. Everything, everything had to be replaced. It's not expensive, and can really help.
Nice and good idea to scan the receipts, the only problem i see in that is that most of the shops what the original receipt when it comes to returning something. At least in Vienna, Europe. Have a great day 😊
it's no use just going to the same shop or bank daily - you have to say hello to the person there while looking them in the face! I work in a shop, i don't mind what people do, but you'd be surprised the range of people's behaviour, some don't want to do anything until they've discussed your day with you and how you're feeling and how they're feeling, others jump out of their skin if you say something (even necessary things, like 'your card, sir' (ie you've left it in the machine), some talk loudly to one foot above your head, some want to tell you nonstop jokes - it's rarely dull
Good thing I watched this video! I was about to ask for a printer with a scanner on the top for Christmas, just so I could e-file my bills. Soon as I heard that about that app I went to the play store. Thanks TFD!
#1: my socks. Finding my socks!!!! I’m storing them in a new drawer altogether lol. #2: add one more fruit to my smoothies in the morning & add carrots to my egg scrambles. #3: making more shopping lists on my phone & figuring out which ones to buy in bulk. I just use the notes app. #4: I’ve been accumulating things for my apartment months before moving out. Every time I see myself being prepared, it lowers my stress level. #5. My credit score is doing well. I’m using cash more. #6. I made a comment on a post about veganism recently and everyone jumped on it without reading what I said. I’m just going to be less outwardly opinionated altogether lol. I missed #7. #8. I want to start reading again this year... I love reading. #9. I don’t do that apologetic shit. It’s so annoying. #11. I don’t own a computer to make spreadsheets but I definitely plan these in my planner. #12. Instagram... 😔 I’m deleting it more and more often. #13. 💜 that’s so cool! Never heard of that term before. #14. Always do. #15. I’m doing a 30 day thrifted fashion challenge and am getting similar results. I’m wearing stuff I bought years ago that I’ve only worn a handful of time. It’s so much fun!
Can you do a video (or include the link if you already have made one) about how you use excel sheets to organize your life? I like the idea of using sheets but don't know how I could implement it to be useful for me. Thanks!
Sidenote: I just found out about Adobe Scan becuase of this video and I am so impressed! Love it! (No I was not asked to say this or paid... just love the app!)
I have the weekly routine called :"Fuck It Friday!". Friday is the end of my work week so I get takeout food and a special soda that I love after work. I get a movie or some other relaxing activity (read, sew,, etc and everyone knows that I don't do anything then. I will do/help everyone on Saturday through Thursday but Friday night is my day to relax.
I used my renters insurance when I was robbed. Stolen items were around $1500. Got back $150. My insurance mailed me a month ago telling me they could no longer keep me as a client because I was robbed...... I disagree.
There's some more nuance here than this though -- if you were robbed $1650, you would've received $300. $10,000? You would've gotten back $8650. It looks like your deductible -- the piece that you're responsible for paying -- was around $1350. Because renter's insurance is so cheap month to month, it's really useful for big-deal, lifestyle altering sums of money but for things that are closer to your deductible, as it was in your case, it isn't as effective.
Kunal Mishra or she could be including items in her total that need to be scheduled separately (jewelry valued over a certain amount, guns, collectibles, etc).
Hey everyone quick update. First thanks for letting me rant some. To clear things up my deductible was $1,000. Just getting back $150 did make sense (still upsetting though). They also priced my Mac computer and PS4 as what they would sell today vs. when I originally bought them, which makes sense as well. Insurance update found out 2 days ago: my insurance as a whole did not let me go, more of an advisor. There reason to let me go was because I was robbed "too soon"...... even with a police report. I got insurance September and was robbed in December, so a total of 3 months being there. Just wanted to end this with be careful where you live and who your insurance agents are. I do appreciate this channel but I think the renters insurance part hit a sore spot! Again thanks!
Yay!! Vegans save even more! The cheapest food in the world is vegan. (Beans, potatoes, quinoa) and it’s nice to plan your meals around these foods to save so much money!! And it’s delicious ❤️🌎♻️🌱
"Imagine all the things you could do with all this time!" Like, nothing. I watch UA-cam on my free-time. The only other thing I can do is sleep, eat, or be bored.
I’ve been in the habit of increasing my credit limit as frequently as I can without initiating a hard pull, but I heard recently that a high credit limit can be a problem when applying for a loan because it might be seen as another open loan. Is there any accuracy to that?
In Australia where I live the banks definitely take your credit card limits (not balances) into account when working out how much you can borrow for a mortgage/home loan. Not sure about other loan types though or what the rules are in other places.

As a vegetarian for the past 10 years, it's definitely not automatically healthier or cheaper to be vegetarian. It takes work.
Gotta go vegan to get the health benefits. Cheese and eggs are so bad for us for so many reasons :-(
I'm not sure what your strategies are, but I don't find it to be work at all to be vegan. It's so much easier than I thought it would be :-)

This was a great post. I find so many of these types of videos to be repetitive but this was refreshing and gave me lots of new ideas!
Goodness I love the majority of this list! Some things I’ve been already kinda doing (like night routine to prepare clothes in the morning) while others I need to try out to see if they help me out in 2019 (and now!)
Amazing video, I had to keep pausing it to go download the recommended apps. Although I found Focus Keeper Pro pretty cool instead of the Tomato 🍅 one.
SO HAPPY you shared your ideas and...to be totally honest, I forgot the “subject” of this video but am super stoked about putting your suggestions into play!! Especially the closet idea, genius!
good tips! love the leaning into "i dont know" bit - really good insightful suggestion there. thank you for such great content. even the sponsored app is pretty good. haha. :)
'rental insurance' is called 'home and contents insurance' in australia. these are genuinely good ideas, not sure if they fit my situation though but it's good to see a video that has actual advice!
Wow! This video is an absolute GOLD mine!!! 💖💖💖
So many great ideas I want to implement in my life! 👌
Thank you so much for sharing! 😃
Loved the ideas, especially enriching routine and the wardrobe challenge. Happy Holidays Chelsea! :)
Would love to see those cleaning lists!
In order to cause yourself to create new outfits with your existing clothes, just do laundry less frequently. This may necessitate the procurement of extra underwear and socks, but I find it to be so worth it.
I save so much money being vegan :-) Especially because I shop mostly in the bulk section (dry beans, nuts, rice, pasta, oats, etc) and the produce section, and I avoid packaging in those sections by filling up my reusable mesh produce bags. On special occasions I splurge on a vegan cheese wheel, which can be pricey, but overall being vegan is such a huge savings :-)
I saw a guy at whole foods once stick his hands in the bulk container with the Dates. I know he isn't the first and only person to do that. Since then I can't bring myself to buy anything from the bulk section. I hate getting prpducts plastic packaging but for now that's what I will be buying.
@@holey336 You do realize that someone stuck his/her hands in bulk containers of some kind in order to put the foods in question in the plastic packaging, right?
Depends on where you live. Where I live, most of our fruits and vegetables come from California (halfway across the continent) and Chili, and they're damned expensive. I live up north, so we can only harvest fresh for two months out of the year at most. I can't eat rice or very much wheat because I'm hypoglycemic and those things make me literally sick. If I eat pancakes or rice with beans, I pass out for 3 solid hours every time. My sister tried to go vegan when we were on a trip together where meat was expensive, and after 3 days, she ended up getting disoriented and walked away in the wrong direction into a crowd of people. I immediately took her to a restaurant and bought her cheap self a beef dinner.
💯 on the "i dont know".
That adobe scan Tip is a Gem. Thankyou!
As a CPA, I can only approve the use of spreadsheets to organize your daily life !
For everyone asking for templates of spreadsheets, Monday.com is awesome for templates of pretty much anything you can think of!
Boy, rental insurance yes! I had a friend who shared an apartment and after a fire, he didn't have so much as a toothbrush or a sock. Everything, everything had to be replaced. It's not expensive, and can really help.
Awesome list
Thanks!
*Night routine is key! Great video!*
Nice and good idea to scan the receipts, the only problem i see in that is that most of the shops what the original receipt when it comes to returning something. At least in Vienna, Europe. Have a great day 😊
it's no use just going to the same shop or bank daily - you have to say hello to the person there while looking them in the face! I work in a shop, i don't mind what people do, but you'd be surprised the range of people's behaviour, some don't want to do anything until they've discussed your day with you and how you're feeling and how they're feeling, others jump out of their skin if you say something (even necessary things, like 'your card, sir' (ie you've left it in the machine), some talk loudly to one foot above your head, some want to tell you nonstop jokes - it's rarely dull
Love this video TFD!!! And also... Chelsea, you are glowing!
Good thing I watched this video! I was about to ask for a printer with a scanner on the top for Christmas, just so I could e-file my bills. Soon as I heard that about that app I went to the play store. Thanks TFD!
love your channel! you always share us with valuable ideas and useful life hacks!
#1: my socks. Finding my socks!!!! I’m storing them in a new drawer altogether lol.
#2: add one more fruit to my smoothies in the morning & add carrots to my egg scrambles.
#3: making more shopping lists on my phone & figuring out which ones to buy in bulk. I just use the notes app.
#4: I’ve been accumulating things for my apartment months before moving out. Every time I see myself being prepared, it lowers my stress level.
#5. My credit score is doing well. I’m using cash more.
#6. I made a comment on a post about veganism recently and everyone jumped on it without reading what I said. I’m just going to be less outwardly opinionated altogether lol.
I missed #7.
#8. I want to start reading again this year... I love reading.
#9. I don’t do that apologetic shit. It’s so annoying.
#11. I don’t own a computer to make spreadsheets but I definitely plan these in my planner.
#12. Instagram... 😔 I’m deleting it more and more often.
#13. 💜 that’s so cool! Never heard of that term before.
#14. Always do.
#15. I’m doing a 30 day thrifted fashion challenge and am getting similar results. I’m wearing stuff I bought years ago that I’ve only worn a handful of time. It’s so much fun!
good suggestions ..I'll make a spreadsheet of the 15 and prioritize which I want to accomplish 1,2,3 etc and steps required. Very efficient.
I love all the winter sales in the first month of Winter, though it does make me wonder when winter is according to retail.
Definitely trying the wardrobe challenge! Thank you
Can you do a video (or include the link if you already have made one) about how you use excel sheets to organize your life? I like the idea of using sheets but don't know how I could implement it to be useful for me.
Thanks!
I had left TFD for a little while but I'm back and re-subscribed and I like this new 'cut through the bullshit' approach
"If I may quote myself " 😆 Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I would love to see one on 3 goals a month to financial freedom.
Can u link the spreadsheet of cleaning?
02:59 I stopped the video and went to AppStore to download GD PDF application)))
Upd 04:55 I Love Chelsea)))
Love the cleaning spreadsheet!!!
How do you do your grocery list? Can you share examples?
I would love to see your folder of spreadsheets. You seem to have so many! Do you make them yourself or do you use templates from somewhere?
Wow this is a great video! Original content and all incredibly useful and motivating :)
We all seriously need an AI version of you to aid us in navigating life. You're always so informative.
Downloaded Adobe Scan right away! Thank you so much for your great tips always! :)
Sidenote: I just found out about Adobe Scan becuase of this video and I am so impressed! Love it! (No I was not asked to say this or paid... just love the app!)
I have the weekly routine called :"Fuck It Friday!". Friday is the end of my work week so I get takeout food and a special soda that I love after work. I get a movie or some other relaxing activity (read, sew,, etc and everyone knows that I don't do anything then. I will do/help everyone on Saturday through Thursday but Friday night is my day to relax.
I used my renters insurance when I was robbed. Stolen items were around $1500. Got back $150. My insurance mailed me a month ago telling me they could no longer keep me as a client because I was robbed...... I disagree.
Wow, what a crock. It seems like you were robbed in two ways.
My thumbs down is to your terrible insurance provider.... not to you. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. Hang in there!
There's some more nuance here than this though -- if you were robbed $1650, you would've received $300. $10,000? You would've gotten back $8650. It looks like your deductible -- the piece that you're responsible for paying -- was around $1350. Because renter's insurance is so cheap month to month, it's really useful for big-deal, lifestyle altering sums of money but for things that are closer to your deductible, as it was in your case, it isn't as effective.
Kunal Mishra or she could be including items in her total that need to be scheduled separately (jewelry valued over a certain amount, guns, collectibles, etc).
Hey everyone quick update. First thanks for letting me rant some. To clear things up my deductible was $1,000. Just getting back $150 did make sense (still upsetting though). They also priced my Mac computer and PS4 as what they would sell today vs. when I originally bought them, which makes sense as well. Insurance update found out 2 days ago: my insurance as a whole did not let me go, more of an advisor. There reason to let me go was because I was robbed "too soon"...... even with a police report. I got insurance September and was robbed in December, so a total of 3 months being there. Just wanted to end this with be careful where you live and who your insurance agents are. I do appreciate this channel but I think the renters insurance part hit a sore spot! Again thanks!
I am in love with all of these tips. Thank you!
Another awesome video. Thank you.
Great video...I have watched several of her video. This oneafe me feel like I am not a very productive person. I need to rethink my life.
I discovered that app by accident and love it
Very useful tips ! Thanks for sharing ! Regards from Spain.
Yay!! Vegans save even more! The cheapest food in the world is vegan. (Beans, potatoes, quinoa) and it’s nice to plan your meals around these foods to save so much money!! And it’s delicious ❤️🌎♻️🌱
Hey cool, I have that same Vermouth martini sign, I got a canvas of it at Home Goods
Please do a video on your domestic task spreadsheet! 🙏🏼
I'd love to see those spreadsheets!
"Imagine all the things you could do with all this time!"
Like, nothing. I watch UA-cam on my free-time. The only other thing I can do is sleep, eat, or be bored.
I’ve been in the habit of increasing my credit limit as frequently as I can without initiating a hard pull, but I heard recently that a high credit limit can be a problem when applying for a loan because it might be seen as another open loan. Is there any accuracy to that?
Emily Thomas I really hope that they answer this question.
In Australia where I live the banks definitely take your credit card limits (not balances) into account when working out how much you can borrow for a mortgage/home loan. Not sure about other loan types though or what the rules are in other places.
Time spent using spreadsheets is the time I use to tackle the task. I have small space to minimize the time.
👍 thanks for the great video ladies!
These are great tips; thanks!
Revolving utilization also effects your credit rating, so if that is too low that can be a negative.
How funny is it that I was going through my box of receipts while looking at this? I am so getting that app to make this easier for myself!
