As long as you use the standard deduction for meals, there is no reason to save grocery receipts. You just need to track the amount of meals you serve. My food program sends me a statement at the end of the year that states how many meals I claimed, however, if you serve any additional snacks that can't be claimed on the food program, make sure and note that and also any meals that get disallowed on the food program for whatever reason. Keep records of meal counts, not receipts.
