For me it was not groceries or eating out like I expected. It was all the little recurring charges I barely noticed because they were spread across different dates. None of them felt expensive on their own, but together they ended up being a much bigger monthly expense than I realized.

Now I try to do a quick review every few weeks just to make sure I am still paying for things I actually use.

What category ended up costing you more than you thought once you started paying attention?
