I've read about shoeboxed and think they are a great program. Another one to check out is http://www.mint.com/ Mint logs all your purchases by whatever category you choose. You plug in your credit cards and it's unbelievably simple. Thanks for the comment Colin. I’ve read about shoeboxed and think they are a great program.

There are bunch of tools out there that help. The easiest one I've found is https://www.shoeboxed.com, where you can simply send your receipts to them.

I've never used it, but it could work. I find that it’s helpful to keep track of my spending. There are bunch of tools out there that help.
