Three months of tracking grocery receipts, my Tuesday budget finally holds

I used to blow through my food money by Wednesday without noticing. Started jotting every receipt in a notes app, even the $2 coffee runs, and the pattern was ugly. After 12 weeks the numbers show I spend about $40 less per week just by seeing where it goes. My grocery line item stays green now, which sounds dumb but feels huge. Anyone else find that plain data beats any fancy app for them?
