I'm having a hard time with trying to figure out the Category of Shopping for expense tracking. It is taking up 40% of my discretionary spending.
Right now it is basically Amazon and Target. From these places it can be anything from clothes to toilet paper and everything in between. On somethings I will go into MINT and split the transaction apart, but not always and it's a pain and hard to keep track with everything just listed as Amazon.
We do a lot of auto-subscribe in Amazon for things like toilet paper, paper towels and dog food. These can come every month or every 3 months, but they get mix into other small things we buy like light bulbs and gifts. Making it very difficult and time consuming to organize all these transactions.
I don't have a simple solution for this problem. Sometimes venting helps :)
I do believe re-evaluating when is auto setup is a good idea and make sure you still need what you are getting at the from door.
Once I figure out the solution I will share.
Maybe 42? no not the right question.
