If it is an appliance, large purchase, or something you would rather put in a warranty claim before buying a new one, just snap a quick picture of the receipt right after purchasing! With the search features picture galleries on your phone, it is super easy to find.
Exhibit A: My vacuum cleaner had the clip on its canister break and now dumps its contents on the floor half the time I pick it up. With a quick search on Google Photos, I found the receipt from 3 years ago and filed a warranty claim. The new canister is soon to be on its way. Thats $30-40 saved purchasing a new canister or $150 saved on purchasing a new vacuum!
