| I have a price book, but know the prices of most items I buy on top of my head. I will probably have to make a new one because grocery prices have increased so much I no longer see the prices I used to jump at.
I would write down all the items I buy regularly and check at different stores as I was there and/or their ads to notate their regular and sale price. When I found the lowest and that sale happened I would stock up knowing it probably wouldn't be beat. BTW...calculate by price per ounce, gram, etc. Sometimes smaller bottles are actually cheaper. This way you can compare apples to apples.

| Well I decided it was time to do this after not having one for several years. Prices have changed so much in the past few months that I can't keep up. I found this one and downloaded it down to excel. It works great.
