I use it for receipts that I feel I might need but usually lose, all auto repair receipts (for tracking my vehicle history), any tax deductible receipts such as uniform items, etc.

I recently had a rotation expense (cab due to screwup with hotel transportation). I got the cab receipt, "scanned" it with TurboScan and then threw it away. I emailed the receipt to myself as a pdf, then forwarded that along with my expense report to the email address that the pilot support center uses. Worked great!
