<prompt> Human: My wife and I are having a hard time with our grocery budget.Per-month, we currently budget about 900 on wal-mart, 100 on online expenses, and 50 for fast-foodfor ourselves and two toddlers. Unfortunately, those expenses are very hard to track against categories. How much is food? How much is hygiene products? etc.I suggested reviewing the receipts together. My wife wasnt enthusiastic, and when we tried it, most of items are unidentifiable and its a serious chore. Additionally, due to the toddlers, its difficult to log every item purchased on shopping day.All my friends, regardless of life-situation, indicate they spend 400-500 a month on their grocery budget. I understand they might be exaggerating, not counting online orders or fast food, but I still feel like Im missing something.How do you track toiletries and other categories versus groceries on your budget? Am I overestimating my budget?  <response>: 900 per month thats absurdly...two toddlersAh.Personally I just tend to view the groceries vs essential toiletries budgeting distinction more as something for personal knowledge than as an actual budgeting distinction. Like its awesome if you can easily make the split, but its okay if it fuzzes some as long as your total doesnt run over.I do believe that some of the automated systems people use can split them up, but as a person who generally just runs manual budgeting based mainly off bank transaction lists taking a couple of extra hours to determine exactly how much of that Walmart lump was spent on essential toiletries like detergent and toothpaste vs on edible essentials fruit and vegetables isnt a particularly meaningful enough distinction to spend that time on in my book.
