That's the key! Have a routine! It took me two days to organize my expense receipts to do my taxes for 2004. NOW I enter expenses as part of my office day once a month and that will save me so much time next January!kcjodih said:Erica,
You can add your expenses anytime, it doesn't have to be before or during the show. Sometimes I do it right after each show, sometimes not until the end of the month. I just keep everything all together and then go into PP and away I go. I add my mileage for shows and dropping off host packs , postage, etc. I like some sort of routine though so I don't forget, or more likely get lazy...

You can submit expenses related to supplies, ingredients, and promotional materials that you purchase specifically for your Pampered Chef shows. This includes items like food for cooking demonstrations, catalog printing, and any other materials directly related to your business activities.
To track your mileage, keep a log of the dates, starting and ending locations, and the purpose of each trip related to your Pampered Chef business. You can use a mileage tracking app or a simple spreadsheet to record this information. Remember to note the total miles driven for each trip.
To submit your expenses and mileage, you typically need to fill out an expense report form provided by Pampered Chef. Include all relevant receipts and documentation, and ensure that your mileage log is attached. Submit the completed form through the designated platform or email as instructed by your team leader or company guidelines.
Typically, you should submit your expenses within a specific timeframe after the show, often within 30 days. Check with your team leader or the Pampered Chef guidelines for the exact deadline to ensure you receive reimbursement in a timely manner.
