@Jaime

Do you track perishables like produce, dairy and meat?

I track them - but I don’t have a big freezer either (don’t really like thawed meat)…
But, let’s say I have a choice between chicken or turkey… I can use the sheet to tell me which one is a better deal, stuff like that…

Next, what exactly to you use that coupon column for?

I make a note if I have a coupon… and I might make a note if I use one… and if
the coupon has an expiration date… I usually buy generic, so, not a lot of coupons,
but I do use them… I tried to limit the number of columns on this sheet… to make it
printer-friendly… so, if I have a coupon, I’ll make a note, and it’s expiration date… if i
use one, I’ll cross it out…

Why do you note when you make a purchase? What’s that telling you?

It tells me if I need to buy again… if I buy a year’s worth of stuff, I may or may not
buy it three months later, even if it’s on big time sale… but, if i bought a month’s worth…
and it goes on sale a week later, i might buy…

How detailed do you get? For example, let’s say I’m tracking chips because we like to have a bag of chips around. We don’t buy the same kind every time and it’s usually whatever is on sale/I have a coupon for. Do I have a separate sheet for each type and/or brand of chips I buy or one chart for all chips? That’ s probably a dumb example, but hopefully it makes sense.

Makes perfect sense… I list things either by specific brand - if I’m brand loyal - or by general category - if I’m not. On chips, we eat two main brands… so I list them both - and just compare..

Do you update it every time you go to the store or just use store flyers and your receipts?

I usually follow the same pattern - and update prices, even if I don’t buy the item… this helps to get a more detailed history of the ups and downs… if I don’t have time, I don’t really worry about it… and, i rarely if ever look in flyers, ’cause i have a pretty standard list of foods, and I don’t vary, all that much, from the list…

Hope that helps… feel free to ask more if that doesn’t clear things up… rock on,
NCN

OK…I printed them out and started filling them in this week. A few questions: Do you track perishables like produce, dairy and meat? If the point is to know when to stockpile, it doesn’t seem like a useful exercise as you can’t stockpile perishables (we don’t have a large freezer).

Next, what exactly to you use that coupon column for? Are you tracking when coupons for the items are available or if you use one or something else?

Why do you note when you make a purchase? What’s that telling you?

Do you update it every time you go to the store or just use store flyers and your receipts?

I think that’s all my questions. Thanks for the download!

NCN,

I’m glad you’re helping people become more aware of the savings possible with a grocery price book. I like the printable price book you’ve provided.

I’m a sucker for a good Excel spreadsheet, so I created a grocery price book spreadsheet - you can click on my name to see it. It’s handy and gadgety — a real treat for a nerd like me.

Great blog, too. I’ve been following your No Credit exploits since you started, and you really have made a following for yourself.
