Pick denominations and use colored stickers. You don't need to know if you spent $113 or $125. Just mark it as being between $100 and $150. Or if you're working with larger cards than just use colored stickers for each $100 up to $1,000.

Keep it simple.

Add or subtract 5 to each digit of the amount you paid.

If you paid $180, that becomes 635, $27 becomes72, $39 becomes 84, etc.

Simple and easy to remember.

Mark everything up exactly 300% and you will know what you paid.

There was a big antique store here in Louisville that used to charge $1 to enter the place. It was like a museum. They would hand you a little slip of paper when you entered that had the words "BRUSH CLEAN" on it with the numbers 1-9 and 0 under the letters. All their tags on everything would be something like BRH D-10. So that would be $125 minus $10 or $115. It was like doing algebra every time I went down there. Got a lot of old split finger baseball gloves and some other miscellaneous BB memorabilia there over the years. Like someone said above, pick a phrase that works with 10 letters and just memorize it.
