I do exactly this. I wish farm for specific things, but when i'm done, I delete the category and assign the spending to a more generic one. For instance, I might save up for a new motorcycle helmet. Once purchased, I delete that category and move the transaction to the more generic 'motorcycling' category.
I like this becaus, it lets me prioritize individual larger purchases, but also gives me an idea of how much spending i'm doing overall
