I'm still waiting for the next step in these apps, where I connect my account to Walmart/Amazon/Target/etc and it can do item/category breakdowns automatically based on the actual line items in the order.
Otherwise, I am with you. I use a much simpler system without categories but I manually enter every dollar I spend right when I spend it.

- rco8786 4y agoYea I think that's the big challenge. Plaid has somehow cracked this code for banking data, is it possible for someone to do it with retail data? edit Amazon does provide an Orders API that at a glance seems like it would work for this case, but there's probably some underlying restrictions I am unaware of. https://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/orders-2013-09-01/Orders_Overview.html https://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/orders-2013-...
