Hello,
I see from your username that you're new to QuickBooks Online, and I'm so happy you've joined us! Learning the ins-and-outs of the program can come with a learning curve, but don't worry. There's tons of resources that can help you. If you're not sure how to record the expense for your grocery bags, I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.
The first step is going to be to touch base with your accountant. It's important that whichever way you decide to record this, it's going to be properly reflected to fit your accounting needs. If you're not yet connected to an accountant, you can find one in your area here: Find a ProAdvisor.
The great thing about connecting with a ProAdvisor accountant is that they'll be able to access your QuickBooks Online account to review your data. They also have access to special tools that can make running your business even easier.
Once you've consulted with your accountant, you can record expenses quickly and easily by either creating a bill, expense, or cheque. Here's how you'll go about creating these expenses and what the difference is between them: What is the difference between bills, cheques, and expenses?
I hope this helps get you back on track. If you have any other questions, our tech support team is here to help. Feel free to reach out to them.
Have a great day.
