But I feel like all I do is spend money on my days off running errands and pay off my credit card in large chunks several times a month.

Maybe I'll make a spreadsheet to track just the groceries because K and I try to take turns paying and I can't quite get a handle on where we're at....
I use YNAB (YouNeedABudget). I am insistent that DH hands me his receipts so that I can break up a convenience store purchase into his cigars vs food for instance. You can link your accounts to the software so most of it is automated like Quicken. I'm with you. If I don't know what I'm spending money on, I feel like I'm lost in the middle of a forest. I need the signposts.
