There's lots of ways to keep track of expenses. I'd long been doing that in an excel spreadsheet.
Once you have them, you need to look at them in a cost-sensitive way. I don't see how writing down numbers accomplishes that.
Did you ever try graphing the data in the spreadsheet? I don't know if it would easy to do exactly the same graph you do, but you can certainly mimic the graphs of mint.com. I can see a lot of tradeoffs between the approaches, but nothing you've mentioned.
