Re: Receipts??I usually shred receipts after the show has shipped. All the info you need is on P3. If you back up your P3 with a flash drive weekly, you don't need to worry.

Being an IT person, I keep 2 back up flash drives....in case one goes bad.
 
Re: Receipts??Jenn: I usually keep the yellow/pink copy of receipts for about 30 days then shred them. No need to keep them since all orders are on P3.

Hi Jenn,Thank you for reaching out with your question about receipts. As a Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely understand the desire to clear up clutter and get rid of unnecessary receipts. While it is important to keep receipts for tax purposes and potential returns or exchanges, there are some that can be shredded after a certain amount of time.Generally, it is recommended to keep receipts for at least one year, as that is the standard time frame for potential returns or exchanges. However, if you are looking to declutter, you can also consider keeping digital copies of your receipts instead of physical copies. This way, you can easily access them if needed, but they won't take up physical space.I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.Best,
