I'm still wondering about the categories a bit...
I'd love to track individual categories, so I'd know how much I spent for things.. Not sure if it's really necessary though.. And not sure if I'd stick to it..
Keeping technology and batteries etc (items with warranty) separate really seems like a 'must', even if they are just smaller items.. I've searched for some of those, at times..

I wonder about the privacy and reliability of eg Evernote or ShoeBoxed a bit.. They're probably very handy in case of fire or something like that.. Probably good to have backup elsewhere too.. (And just one safety box may not be enough, at least if you live in Slovenia! There was a big infamous robbery years ago where bank safety boxes were robbed!)
Well, the way I organize my receipts corresponds to the way in which I have to present my annual tax report, that's the logic behind it, so when the due time comes I do my report fast and easily.

If you don't have to present an annual tax report, any way in which you can retrieve your receipts easily in case you need them should be OK. Don't waste to much time on it.
