DAE track their grocery spending month to month? Mine went from $640 to $410

I started writing down every grocery trip in a little notebook back in January, just the total and the store. First month came to $640 for two people, which honestly shocked me. By April it was down to $410, and I didn't really change what we eat. The big thing was seeing how many quick stops I made, like 3 or 4 a week at the corner store in Aurora for one or two items. Now I do one big run on Sunday and a midweek stop only if we truly run out. For folks who track this stuff, do you count eating out in your food number or keep it separate?
