When I travel for business I keep my daily receipts, including subway / tram tickets, receipts for snacks, etc. in my purse, and each evening I put the day's receipts in a hotel envelope, and write on the outside the amounts paid, whether they were cash or credit card, and also log any times I was unable to get a receipt (limited exceptions are made to our policy for things like tips to maid, bellboy, bars in certain countries that simply don't give receipts etc.) Takes 5 mins max if I do it each day, and means when I get back to the office, and sit down to do my expenses, I have all the information to hand, and I don't forget things!
