You might want to check out Ledger: http://ledger-cli.org/

It is a system for doing accounting with plain text, and has lots of features that I think you would find useful, including tracking prices and commodities.  You should definitely be able to get it to tell you the things you're looking for, once you enter your receipts.  Also, it has good integration with Emacs, and (to some extent) with Org. 
 
Best,
Richard
