Organizing price book AND coupons?

**riaketty** · 10-25-2010, 05:40 AM

I'm new at this.

I have a price book pretty much set up from fliers, receipts, etc.

I also have a ton of coupons.

How the heck can I combine the two so I know X brand + coupon is cheaper than Y brand?

Try mygrocerydeals.com . There's others, but the links can't be posted on FV as they're competing sites.

i dont.
my price book is basically in my head- because prices are always changing with sales loss leaders etc.

i know what my limit is as far as what i will pay for someting and if i need it or see it below that price i buy it whether i can get generic or name brand between a sale and a coupon depends on what is happening that week because the prices wont always be the same around here /

One thing you can do is to put on your shopping list a space for what you paid for it last and the target price you expect to pay this time.

So,
potatoes, 5 lbs (date) old price .30/lb, expected price .35/lb

If I take my price book to the market, this is what I have on the printout. (Mine's on a computer.) The idea is that if the date is too far gone, then it's unlikely you'll match or do better than your old price, so I want to know that.

IHTH!
