Household notebooks and home manualsTalk about the various ways you organize your home with manuals, journals, lists, calendars, day planners, binders, index cards and notebooks.
I have one, and have had for years, but I delete all the entries but the cheapest in the past few months. My price book is a "target" price book, that is, I want this price or better. If this suits, I'll post mine.

A box of mac and cheese at walmart is .50 for 7.25 ozs.
So to find out how much each oz is... divide .50 by 7.25.
.50/7.25 = .06
--------------
Some people do it backwards like this. 7.25/.50 = 14.50
But thats wrong. Your not trying to figure out how many oz to cents, your trying to figure out how many cents to an oz. You get the wrong number if you do this.
I used to have a price book but package sizes & prices are changing so quickly I haven't bothered to keep up.

1) Each page has the item type at the top. It can be "meats", "produce", "health and beauty", etc. Generalization is good here, especially if you have the price book either in a binder (with dividers) or in a one-subject notebook.
2) The first entry would be the item's more specific details. For example, if the binder/notebook is devoted to meats, the first line would be something like 'Ground Beef, Regular 1lb".
3) The second entry would have the following information from left to right: Store name, Regular Price, Sale Price.
4) If the item falls under specific sales, I put little notes on the right side of the line. So if it's BOGOF, 50% off, etc then I put that there.
So my price book in all would look like this:
MEATS
Ground Beef, Regular 1lb
Safeway $1.99 $1.49 Manag Spec, 50% off
Sobey's $2.35 $1.79 50% off, BOGOF
Co-Op $1.69 $0.99 Bi-Annual Sale, 50% off
I'd write in the store name and the item specifics in pen, write in the rest in pencil (to make it neater).
