Do you use Pampered Partner to track your expenses or do you use another program?? Want to make sure I get started right this time around. Before I was bad about writing/posting my expenses, so I'm sure I missed alot of deductions.
 
I use PP and make sure to keep ALL receipts!!!
 
I just use a spreadsheet in excel. this is much easier for me..I have different work sheets for different topics...for ex. groceries, shows, postage, supplies.
 
I use PP. In fact, it was a great recruiting tool. My not-quite-consultant (kickoff show Saturday, signing the contract Tuesday) was very pleased that she wouldn't have to buy additional software.
