I track all my expenditures with You Need A Budget. If you're in college, you can get a year free.
Dave Ramsey has his version, EveryDollar. I've never used it, but...it's the same concept.
If you're just wanting to track grocery expenditures and have that detail of checking historical prices, you might try an AI like ChatGPT to turn a pic of your paper receipt into a spreadsheet, then copy and paste it into Google Sheets.
I'd recommend an alternative to ynab such as Actual Budget or one of the others mentioned in this thread. YNAB is great software but the subscription price of it is getting ridiculous.
I came to plug ynab. It's not just for groceries, obviously. But by using it, you will accomplish your goal.
I can't stress enough how good ynab and its system are. It can be hard to wrap your head around, but once you do, it's a game changer.
