Tax Time Survival Kit ~ SentrySafe HD4100 Fire Proof Safe & $25 Walmart GC Giveaway

Once the New Year hits, many of us begin thinking about Tax Season. It tends to be a time of disorganization and stress (at least for me anyways!), which is why I was happy to hear that SentrySafe is making it their goal to help people get both organized and stay secure with a new promotion called, "Make Taxes Less Taxing".

Until April 17th, SentrySafe will be running this campaign, giving people the opportunity to win some great prizes, while learning some great tax time tips as well! By using an interactive online tool participants will explore images, looking for partially hidden SentrySafe Safe icons that could lead them to a daily prize giveaway. SentrySafe will be giving away hundreds of safes throughout this promo as well as a grand prize of a $5k bond (grand prize winner announced April 23rd). You can learn more about it, here.

One thing I've learned is that I'm less stressed this time of year if I stay more organized. That means keeping everything together in a safe and secure place where I know I'll always be able to find it when needed. I've never been the best at staying organized, especially when it comes to taxes...but thankfully SentrySafe has helped me do just that and sent me the SentrySafe HD4100 Waterproof Fire-Safe File and a $25 Walmart Gift Card.
Everyone should have a Waterproof Fire-Safe File to keep their important tax time documents safe, but along with that there are other things you may need. With my Walmart Gift Card I was able to buy the things that helped me organized all of our important paperwork...including file folders, tabs to organize each year, a notebook, calculator and pocket folders for receipts, etc. Just buying these few things and having a safe place to keep it all has made tax season this year so much less stressful. In fact, I now think of it as the ultimate tax time survival kit! It has allowed me to get everything organized and easily accessible whenever we need it. I wish I had done this long ago!

The Waterproof Fire-Safe File is a very nice size...not too big, but large enough to easily fit the the documents and important things we want to keep safe. It holds up to 40 standard hanging folders for a convenient storage solution for any home office or family. I especially love the lid organization system which keeps frequently accessed items like passports, check books and memory sticks within reach and easy to find.

It has definitely given me piece of mind that our things are no longer a disorganized mess in a filing cabinet, but now safe and organized in the best way possible. I love it!

How about you? Do you find tax time to be a bit stressful and disorganized?! Well, SentrySafe wants to help one lucky reader create their own tax time survival kit!

Win It: One very lucky reader is going to win a SentrySafe HD4100 Waterproof Fire-Safe File and $25 Walmart Gift Card just like we received.
