At first I was concerned about the holding capacity of the expanding folder. But after working out the initial stiffness of it I was put at ease to see that each month was sufficiently sized for all my months of paperwork. The tabs are easily visible with my documents filed away and that's a very important factor in the planned usage.
I have been using expanding files for years yes I still use paper. This is the best way to keep my bills for all my businesses. With 3 different companies I tend to get a lot of documents and although I have tried different methods I always go back to the expanding files. Ever since I found these at Staples I have never bought them anywhere else. They are very durable and hold up over time. Going back 10 years to my files before I found these those seem to be wearing down and these have not.
So what do you do at the end of the year? When my year ends I only know one thing that I have to do. No make that two things. First I have to get a calendar. If there is a place that hands out free ones that would be fine. But the second and sometimes first thing is to buy an expanding file for my receipts. In this particular instance I bought the one that I am reviewing. It does the job. One can indeed put receipts in every month and they will be available in the unlikely event that they are needed. But you know what? I would really be a lot happier if it had a flap or some other mechnanism to allow it to be closed. This one doesn't. But it still does the job.
