Default Re: Save Hundreds Creating A Grocery Price Book

My pricebook, based on "loss leaders". ie the things stores advertise to lure you to their place, has saved me approximately 48% off my previous grocery store tape...less when my husband's with me. In my Excel Spread-sheet, I award a "Best"rating to the lowest price ( which can be multi-store ) or "target" to those a nickle or so off. When they reach "Best", I buy multiples of items that I know that I will use . I generally use coupons only on Best or target priced items ---bringing the total down to miniscule. Each week, I filter by sale date, print my list, and head out. It's a profitable hobby. Best though, is that I am now the "How-low-can-you-go"authority at work .
