Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: Don’t print receipts for online orders – just highlight the information, copy, paste and save to a computer file. Like everyone else seems to be, I’m drowning in clutter.

This past year, I ordered most of my Christmas presents online, and I pasted the order information into a computer file rather than printing it out. I labeled the file by the vendor and date so I can find what I’m looking for if necessary. I have saved myself a lot of filing! – Marilyn M., Reston, Va.
