Question about tracking every single dollar spent

I got a real shock last month when I looked at my bank statement and saw how much I was spending on random stuff. So I tried writing down every single purchase, even the $2 coffee, for 30 days straight. It showed me I was dropping almost $80 a month just on snacks from the gas station near my house. Has anyone else tried this and found a specific spending habit they could cut?

Yeah, tracking every dollar really opens your eyes, like @xena_fisher49 said.

My gas station soda habit was costing me like fifty bucks a month.
