We've been hitting $1,000 in groceries for the past few months. We're a family of 5 with three young boys, and eat >95% of our meals at home (or packed from home). Our groceries budget includes food, but also toiletries, cleaning products, things like foil, paper towel, napkins, etc.
We've been YNAB users for almost 5 years, but we just have a 'Groceries' category. For the month of October, I've finally decided to do a thorough examination of what we spend under groceries and will be categorizing them into various things, currently: Fruit, Vegetables, Dairy & veg milk,Canned food, Cereal & granola, Snacks, Dessert, Cleaning, Kitchen accessories, Toiletries, Bread, Pantry, Hygiene.
Has anyone done something similar? Would like to join with either groceries or another complex category you'd like to reduce spend? I'm also happy to share results in November
