I think each of us need to develop in a way that works for us. What I did was put it in a regular size notebook. I took one or two pages for each category (depending on how many items I usually buy in that category). Example of categories would be dairy, frozen, meat, etc. Then I took the page and drew 3 lines down the page - making four columns. My columns are titled Item, Date, Store, Unit Price.
I also keep items within the category together. Example: Dairy page as all milk items on top of the page and I've left blank lines so I can add more comparisons. Then the next group is cheese.
The idea behind a price book is that you can compare the unit price of items from store to store and you will be able to determine who has the best normal price and also be able to look at sale flyers and determine if the sale price is good or not. Also, if you keep the price book long enough, you may be able to determine when particular stores put certain items on sale.
Hope this all makes sense and that you will find it useful.
God Bless and Happy Shopping
Sandy

Welcome to my blog. I'm Sandy, and my husband and I live outside of Los Angeles. We are homesteaders at heart and Catholic by faith. We started on a path to urban homesteading in 2007 after attending a conference on stewardship and our responsibility as Christians to care for God's creation. Thru this blog I hope to share our journey and learn from others on a similar journey.
Update: Starting in 2009 I will also share our journey thru adoption.
