grocery store price list book [updated 2014]


I've noticed lately that my numbers aren't coming out exactly as they should when I come back from the grocery store.  I've been saving my receipts for awhile && realized that the prices have gone up since my last grocery store pricebook I made.  I had originally written my prices in my last book in permanent ink.  So I decided to pick up a new book.  I grabbed this adorb Hello Kitty one out of the Target Dollar bins.  I decided this time I was going to be smart and use my Pilot Frixion pens so I can erase later if I need to.  


Not a lot to add to the setup.  I pretty much did it exactly like my last one.  I changed the tabs though.  I put them in the top corner this time.  My categories are the same: 
  • Meat
  • Dairy
  • Canned
  • Produce
  • Dry Goods
  • Bread
  • Frozen
  • Snacks
  • Seasonings/Sauces
  • Condiments
  • Misc. [for paper towels, ziploc bags, etc.]

If you're new to my grocery store price list book, I use it to plan my menu to the penny.  I ALWAYS know exactly what I will walk away spending.  I plan my meals every week, and keep it in budget with the help of my book.  I'm obsessed with this.  It's truly a fun game to me...  I'm a spender [makeup, clothes, etc] but I also work VERYYYY hard to live as frugally as I can.  Jess works incredibly hard to make sure we have everything we need AND want.  I respect that by working incredibly hard to make sure we don't do anything stupid with the money she brings home <333
