When I was growing up my Great-Aunt would write down the prices she paid on the label to track price increases.

I've never started a price book but have thought about it especially for items that seem to last forever and I don't remember what the sale price was. I have thought that a small address book would be good to use so I could find the items quickly by product type. Just haven't started one yet. I did get as far as writing down the prices of things that I buy when a Super Wal-mart opened near by.

Certain things that I only buy on sale with coupons I know what a good sale price it i.e. Lipton/Rice-a-roni mixes go on sale for $.99 regularly anything under that is a super sale. Pork loins go on sale for $1.99 in my area so I buy one and have it sliced for boneless chops and a hunk for a roast.
