Western Montana Reporting: Since we burned over a million acres this summer I can add that you should save all your receipts while you are out of your home.

Remember, for most people on HN you have a perfect device for recording your receipts, and it probably auto-uploads them to at least one cloud provider as well.

Take pictures of receipts before you even walk out of the store, or on the passenger seat of your car. That may or may not be acceptable for returns, but for recordkeeping it's the way to go.
