I spent $10k on food last year. What’s good way to track grocery spending? (sh.itjust.works)

So I’m just one dude and 10k a year just on food seems incredibly high. I don’t go out that often, ~$1600 was at restaurants. I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong while shopping at grocery stores and want to track grocery purchases better. The store I typically go to doesn’t have online receipts to use.

I’m wondering what kind of apps are available for tracking grocery expenditures that Lemmings would recommend? It would be nice to be able to go back and check prices/sizes of things too, so what is being shrinkflated/skimpflated

I hate to say it, but one way to do it is using a spreadsheet. Every time you shop, you create two new columns -- the item and it's individual price, and at the bottom the total.

At the end of the year, you can add up and graph the totals.
