Scattered receipts/notes → simple expense summary

Crumpled receipts in the car, notes in your phone, one mystery charge… and zero idea where the week went?

Paste the mess into ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Grok (black out account numbers first):

“Turn these receipts/notes into a simple expense summary by category (groceries, gas, eating out, random). Give totals and flag anything weird. Keep it plain English. Here’s the stuff: [paste].”

No spreadsheet required unless you want one. Just a clear “here’s where it went” so your brain can relax.
