Reuse Receipts as Note Paper

For those of us who save receipts throughout the month in that envelope, shoebox, file etc, stop before you throw away the receipts at months end! Use the blank back side of receipts to write on! Perfect for making lists/writing small notes etc.

I have one of those little notepads (wooden one), with the clip at one end and I clip the receipts blank side up on that (envelopes, paperclips, staples can also be used).

You can even decoupage the pad with receipts (Yeah, yeah I love paper!).

Reuse Receipts as Note Paper

A lot of cash register receipts that you get are blank on the back. Save them, and use them for grocery lists, for listing the next movie that you want to watch, to write down something that you need to get uptown, or to write down a phone number. I save mine and turn them back side up and put them under a strong magnet on the fridge.

Now if I need a piece of paper to write down something or list something that I need, I just take one piece of cash register paper out from under the magnet, write down what I need, and put it in my purse. No more forgetting what I came uptown for.
