Question about how everyone else tracks their grocery budget, because my loose system cost me $340 last month

Honestly I used to just eyeball it and pull from my checking account whenever, and last month I added it up and realized I dropped $340 more on food than I thought, mostly little $8 and $12 trips to the corner store near my place in Akron. Ngl the thing I keep seeing people get wrong is they budget for one big weekly grocery run and forget all the small stops, which is where the money actually disappears. I started writing every stop on a sticky note on my fridge and it took me three weeks to see the pattern. Has anyone else had luck with a specific app or do you just do the notes thing like me?
