For your mint categories, you could just manually make new ones that are more broad.
Mint has Restaurants, Alcohol, and Fast Food as categories or something like that.
I grouped the foods ones up, but kept alcohol separate because that's something I want to know about wit specificity.

I have about 30 mint categories in my budget and I always end up having a good chunk of $$ in the "Everything Else" category

We have a "Bill" account and all bills/groceries/gas/not fun stuff paid out of my account. Then we have 2 more accounts for personal items/fun
I manually (jk excel VBA ftw) categorize all bills spending at end of every month and bar graph it compared to budgeted amounts.
Budgets have built in reserve factors I made based on anticipated and previous experience. Reserve releases are determined at beginning of the year once acceptable reserves are met.
Tl:dr, in excel after I manually categorize spending taken from statements, I use VBA to graph budget categories for SO to understand. Once acceptable reserves are met for each category, extra profits are swept into our personal spending accounts
