Create A Grocery Price Book!
Lovely! I've had this done for awhile. So I will make my assignment to UPDATE! I have a gazillion recipts I need to put in there. Also, I'm going to put it on a spreadsheet and possibly upload it to my phone.
Info from mommysavers:
Start with the 25-50 products your family uses most often. To get a good idea of which items to include, look at what’s currently in your pantry and start from there. Or, save your grocery cash register receipts for a period of time. Most of them will include information such as the brand/product purchased, the date, and some will even include the size of the product.
My spreadsheet includes these rows: item, store, date purchased. Many people also include the size of the item so that they can compute the price per ounce. You may find that most of the things you buy come in pretty standard sizes (for example a can of cream of mushroom soup, a block of cream cheese, etc.) and that this isn’t always necessary.
You may also want to include the brand name of products you buy in your price book, especially if you prefer one brand over another. That way, you can evaluate whether buying a name brand is worth paying the extra money, or in some cases you may notice that the brand name doesn’t cost any more than the generic counterpart.

Price Book!
Have you thought you'd gotten a good deal on an item then realized you didn't?
I have just started my own price book. I already love it! Never heard of one? A price book is a book you use to track prices for items you purchace regularly like milk, eggs, and items along those lines that you and your family eats every day.
To start, find out what you want to keep your price book in. Mine is in a little notebook that fits in my purse and planner. Next, if you save your recent recipts, take a look at those. If you can remember, also write down the ounces, gallons, count, and liters that were in the product. To make sure your getting a great price, you will want to check the unit price. This is the price of the item divided by the amount.
Your job is next time you go to the store, check the price of the items and the amount in the item and write it down. You can either write it in pencil so its able to be eraced everytime you find a better price, or like me, I write it in pen so I can see if its going up and down, expecially in this time right now.
I also made a few codes to write next to the items in my price book such has stores I go to. My price book is also divided by sections.
:) Enjoy watching your grocery bill go down and down!!
