I had the chance to try out some Snorg Tees and I am so glad I did! What are these? They are super soft and comfy t-shirts with the coolest sayings every one of them. I had to pull this from their site just to show you what a bunch of funny down to earth people own Snorg Tees.

“SnorgTees got its start back in May 2004 when our group of friends decided that we weren’t meant for a real job. We got our options narrowed down to international jewel thieves or internet t-shirt tycoons. Since it was the middle of the summer, we weren’t able to find enough ski masks, which left t-shirts as our only option. Fast forward a few years and we’ve grown to the point where people mistake us for an actual business. We’ve even shipped a shirt to NASA. That means space. So technically we’re a universal company. But we are still just a group of friends who run Snorg because we enjoy it.  Snorg specializes in pop-culture inspired, random, and all around funny t-shirt designs. Most of the designs are SnorgTees employee creations. But while they think of about 72% of what goes up on the site, 28% of the awesome design ideas come from you, our customers. So if you think you’ve got a great idea, send it their way!”

I want to thank Matt over at Snorg Tees for giving me the chance to try out 2 of their great shirts. He selected them on his own without knowing anything about my family. He actually sent me two shirts that described my husband to the T!

My husband is a complete girl when it comes to spiders. YEP! He literally screams at them lol Needless to say I have killed more spiders in the past 8 years than in my entire life. This shirt suits it completely. He cracked up laughing when he saw it and put it right on. “Have you seen that movie Arachnophobia? Spiders will mess you up.”

Again, about my husband, see I do talk about him He is a serious geek about learning. The man reads physics for FUN and once read the Webster dictionary! Yes, learning geek! If you don’t get this second shirt than you clearly didn’t pay attention in math class. (Don’t feel bad, I knew the symbols but didn’t get the joke lol) “Knowing why this shirt is funny makes all those extra math classes worth it.”

They have tons of shirts. If you visit the website, know up front that not all shirts are as family friendly as these   Their prices are very affordable. T-shirts are only $18.95 and Hoodies are only $29.95. They come in Men’s sizes Small to XXL and Woman’s sizes S to XL. They do run small so remember that if you order. “Remember, when you’re wearing Snorg, all your pictures look good.”

Going through my drawer full of receipts over the weekend was like driving through Manhattan during rush hour.  The long and painful process involved looking through them one by one and trying to figure out which ones are really worth keeping.  In hindsight, I should have thrown out the ones I won’t need but maybe it’s the “better safe than sorry” mentality that kept me from sorting them out from the get go.

“Why do I even keep those receipts”?  I asked myself numerous times.  Below, I thought of 11 reasons why I save those seemingly useless pieces of paper.

1. Refund – What if I needed to return something?  Having a receipt is surely the only way for a hassle free exchange or return (assuming the terms on the back of the receipt says I can).
2. When you don’t shop at Nordstorm – Whatever I said is not correct if you shop at Nordstorm. This department store’s return policy seems to be “we don’t have one”. I heard Costco has a pretty relaxed policy as well. Use it, don’t like it and return it anytime.
3. Reimbursements – If you work for a company where you have to make purchases for them, you better save your receipts to get reimbursed. Whenever I see people filing expense reports with only one receipt worth less than $5, I always wondered “Why can’t you group them together and file less?” That was until the accounting department send us an email telling everyone to file those expense report no later than a week after the expense is incurred. Alright, if you want to do more work, I will shut up.
4. Check Against Your Credit Card – I know so many people who never check their purchases against the credit card statements anymore. It’s such a shame because they might be paying for things they didn’t even buy. Worst yet, overpaying tips that they never authorized.
5. Get Tax Reductions – As more and more taxes are filed online, it seems like there’s no need to keep those receipts. Just wait till you get an audit. You will be sorry then!
6. Price Matches – Your credit card could have a program, the stores have them and your spouse might even offer it. The only proof of purchase though is through your receipt. Keep them!
7. Save It for Warranties – Unless you want to fake a receipt (illegal in case you didn’t know), keeping those receipts just in case is a good idea. This is especially true for electronics, because usually the first thing they ask after you get on the phone is “When did you buy it”.
8. In case the Cashier Never Activates Your Gift Card – I’ve ALWAYS worried that the cashiers will do something wrong with those gift cards. Now I have proof that it does happen!
9. Show Proof for Services If it Wasn’t Fixed the First Time – Ever get something fixed and it starts breaking again within a week? Show them your receipt and tell them it wasn’t fixed correctly the first time.
10. Record it in Your Budget – If you don’t save your receipts, how will you remember to write it down in your budget? Whether you do it everyday or once a week, just save those receipts because even if you CAN remember them, why waste your brain power when you don’t have to?
11. Figure Out How to Use Up Your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) – If you can’t use up your FSA, wouldn’t you want to know what you bought before that qualifies? Receipts are a great place to start.

Maybe some things are just necessary after all. Save those receipts! ARTICLE SOURCE
