Questions about making a price book?

I was thinking about writing a pricebook but I have a few questions.

Did anyone gave you strange looks or ask you what you were doing when you were writing down the items & prices in the store?

How long did it take you to write one up?

If I do one, I probably do it early in the morning so people don't wonder what I'm doing.

Do you find it helpful using a pricebook for your shopping/groceries?

How many pricebooks do you have?

I don't have one but it sounds like a great idea.
I wouldn't care what people think about what I'm doing and if they asked I'd tell them plain and simple. you might be surprised and they would do the same thing..

I have never had anyone ask me what I was doing...I have gotten a couple odd looks though...
Either way, I love my price book and don't care what anyone at the store thinks.

I never got strange looks or questions...Most of my information was gleaned from my reciepts...but occassionally, I would find a comparison price...whip out my book and jot it down...

Just smile...it'll leave'em wondering...hehehehe

I'm going to be working on one soon as well. I had the beginnings of one but I really need to get one!

I made a price book last year. I used mostly my receipts and flyers. The only time I took it with me and really jotted stuff down like mad was at Costco (which really isn't that cheap!). I don't take it with me to the market. I tend to just jot prices down on my list and then transfer them to my book when I get home. If you haven't made a price book, you should. It was shocking to me to find out what I was really spending at the supermarket!

I am in the middle of making mine. I do it when I get home from the grocery store, and go by my receipt. I figure I'll eventually buy everything I'll want a price comparison on.
