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.
