I have used a price book. We have 3 main stores in our area: Giant Eagle, Krogers and Meijers as well as tons of others such as Aldi's, Walmarts and Gordon Food Service and Sam's Club ( canceled membership there since GFS is free).

The first three stores run advertised specials each week. I made a list of items we buy most often, and as I bought the item I put the size and amount and price from each store. Then when they run a special I could tell how much of a savings it really was or not.

I just used a index notebook. The tightwad gazettes have really good instructions on how to set up a price book.

I no longer use one because we shop 80% at Aldi's and GFS, their prices are always the same.
