Opening your price book…

How to actually use it

Do not try to record everything. Pick the eight or ten things you buy nearly every week, and only those. That is enough to change how you shop.

Add a price whenever you notice one, including the bad ones. Knowing the worst price is as useful as knowing the best, because it tells you the range.

After a month, the “best so far” marks give you a price reference: you will know a genuinely good price when you see one.

Whether to stock up on it is a separate question. That depends on how much you already have, how quickly you get through it, where you would put it and what you can spend this week. Should I stock up? works that part out.

Knowing when helps too

Your price book tells you whether a price is good. The grocery year tells you which month to expect it.
