My method is to open them and write them in my accounts book. I have a page for each pay period.
I have had a couple of shocks this week, one I didn't write down, the other my husband wrote it down and I didn't see it. Not like me at all.
What do you do when you get your bills?

I pay 99% of my bills online. I have an Excel spreadsheet set up with each company's name, when the bill is due, the amount, when I paid it or set it up to be paid in the future (I can do that on some online bills), and then I record it in my check register. I have spreadsheets set up for each month, and then those are files in a 2006 Bills Paid folder. My method is to open them and write them in my accounts book. I have a page for each pay period.

I've had a change in system this year. There's my big bills book, where all accounts, company names, pay dates, and bill due dates are recorded. Then there's my big three-ring folder/binder with dividers in it. The paid bills are hole punched and placed behind the relevant divider, the unpaid bills are clipped to the front of the folder so I have a visible reminder. On payday, I go through and pay, by phone banking, whatever's due that pay period.
