~ Monthly
Expenses:Home:Rent $765.00
Expenses:Food:Groceries $300.00
Expenses:Food $200.00
Expenses:Misc $900.00
Assets
Then just look for Expenses:Misc.
There was a long discussion here some time ago about whether to allow

opinion was that it would hold you back from questions exactly like
what you just asked.
