For us it is probably food that is one of the more expensive items. We don't specifically budget it but it seems like we spend about $200 a week at the grocery store for 2 people. This includes some Keto foods, toiletries, cleaning supplies, but even so, with ground beef at $5 to $6 a pound (heck, even the cheap stew meat cuts are now $5 to $6 a pound), groceries add up. $800 a month is $9600 a year JUST in food. This isn't dining out either!
I basically eat like a broke college student. I spend under $2000/yr on food even with the recent inflation. That includes drinks(99% water). I buy almost everything on sale and/or in bulk. I don't order in or dine out unless someone else is paying.
