I'm not sure that I follow your logic here. Look at it from another view:
Credit Allowance $ 90
Debit Chequing $300
Credit Cash $200 groceries
Credit Cash $ 10 cash
This seems to me to be closer to the transaction items that you would
actually realize.
I suspect that the bank only knows that you withdrew $300.

Allowance account and the rest to the Cash account. You are using the memo
field to represent subaccounts Cash:Groceries and Cash:Petty_Cash.
