How would you categorize purchase of home computer

Hi @cogreg:

In our house we have two types of purchases for home use:

  • Home Supplies: These are things that are consumed and replenished on a regular basis: furniture polish, paper towels, stamps, printer ink and paper, etc…since we often purchase these while buying groceries, we created this category to track non-food consumables. (We split the groceries receipts among Groceries and Home Supplies. Shameless plug for the new, memorized splitter tool :wink: Just change the amounts!)

  • Home Purchases: These are assets with a longer life. Things like yard tools, computers, picture frames, towels, furniture, printers, etc…

Lots of really good ways to do this.
Hope that helps, too.

PS. Here’s a more expansive resource on Category design.
