grooving on the price book

May 24th, 2005 at 02:16 am

Spending for today:
17.38 Target for cat litter
39.41 Pet food store for cat litter and food

I ended up getting litter in two places because the prices were both very good. I've been relying on my price book heavily to get the best deals. Or if not the best deals, an educated guess on just how far off something is, i.e. something I really like compared to the rock bottom price.

The next step is to get the price book into a spreadsheet and onto my PDA so I can take it with me everywhere I go. Been caught too many times without it and have either passed up good sales or got suckered into buying something that later turned out to be a bum deal.

Keeping a price book has helped take a lot of the stress out of purchasing necessities around the house. I think is has also added to this new found comfort?? about having enough. The cupboards are pretty well stocked, and now even when I do see things on sale that we use, we dont need them. So I dont have to run around town chasing deals.

I like this frugal thing. With just a little planning, and a little time to turn the momentum around, it makes life a whole lot easier.

    Re: price book on the PDA. I use a Handspring Visor w/ a Palm OS. Have you checked Handy Shopper? Its the Palm application that I use and it works well for me. There is a large community for support and tips. Best of all, you can't beat the price of the software: free.
