It all works out the same in the end anyway. If you don't use the tax free threshold on your job then you get taxed at a higher rate and therefore receive less money per week (because more tax is paid) and then at the end of the year you feel great because you get a big refund. (Because you paid more tax than what you were supposed to.)
I am an accountant and I can claim all my self education expenses which helps a lot. You can only do this if there is a direct connection between your study and your current income earning job. So if I wasn't studying then I would also get shit all back.
You can claim up to $150 for laundry per year without receipts but you have to be able to substantiate the claim.
Do you do any travelling from store to store? If so, you can claim these km's at set rate per km without receipts.
That is about it that I can think of quickly
