Setting up automatic payment for your bills is great way to make sure bills are paid on time but you can't just forget about it. You should at least check to make sure the payment was take out of your account or that the payment was made. As well was the correct amount taken or charged. Because if you don't check on it you could have problem on your hands. At would check on them at least monthly. Another tip instead of auto pay from bank account maybe have the bill charged to your credit card. But only do this if you pay off your credit card at the end of the month. Good stuff.

I will say though that if you're self-employed, or work a straight-commission job where not all of your expenses are covered by your employer you should still be keeping and filing your receipts for anything that you intend on using as a tax deduction. I don't know how well a printout of your debit card statement would work if the tax man asks to see your receipts, so in the absence of contrary advice from a tax professional, I'd say keep your receipts!
