I’m a pocket person. Give me something small to hold, like a piece of paper, and I put it in a pocket. Sometimes I remember to remove said treasure before laundry day. Other times, I’m digging through piles to find which pants still hold my dry-cleaning ticket. And on worse days, I find clumped wads in the dryer and wonder what they used to say.
I’m trying to re-train myself to use expanding folders like Receiptables for Errands ($14). This handy notebook features an errand list, two sticky pads and an accordion file to catch all those little slips of paper like prescriptions, receipts and coupons. It doesn’t conveniently attach to pants, but at 4.5 inches by 7.25 inches, it can slip into most bags easily.
