Why categories matter
Section titled “Why categories matter”Categories drive your budgets and charts. Pick the closest match so trends stay meaningful — you can always edit a category later.
Grocery list categories
Section titled “Grocery list categories”Grocery lists use their own aisle-based categories (fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, bakery, frozen, pantry, canned, snacks, beverages, condiments, household, personal care, baby, pets). These are separate from expense categories. See Todo & grocery lists.
