Price Book and Speculation

I've finally decided to start a price book to note down what I'm actually paying for groceries at the moment.  I had another 'sticker shock' moment in Aldi this week when I realised their unsalted butter was now 99p and not 69p as I had been imagining.

I dug out this old notebook from years ago, the front half had been used but the back portion was still good, so I turned it upside down and started from the back.  I'm not quite sure I'm doing it correctly but I've allocated each letter of the alphabet one page and am noting down the item, the price, and where I bought it (and size of pack if relevant).  I intend to have it in the shopping trolley at all times and then I can refer to it if I think I've spotted a bargain, or if I want to check that the price I'm paying for something is actually the best I can find.  I'm hoping it will be useful in my quest to save money on food items, but if not I'm sure it will make interesting reading in years to come.

I've done really well with selling my handmade items on ebay this past week, and yesterday I sold this bag.  Interestingly enough the address to send it to was 'The Royal', ITV Yorkshire.  Now I may be barking up the completely wrong tree here, but I do wonder if my bag is going to be used as a vintage prop - I think I'm correct in thinking 'The Royal' is set in the sixties (I've never actually watched it).  Could it be my bag is destined for fame and fortune on the small screen?  I do hope so.

Well done on the sale of your bag, you'll have us all watching 'The Royal' on a bag spotting mission.

Good luck with noting down prices. Supermarkets know what they are doing when it comes to robbing their customers - the number of times things have been taken off offer or had their prices sneakily inflated is unbelievable. I'm on to them now after being caught out a time or two but I bet they still con me on occasion.

How interesting that your bag has gone to Yorkshire TV. We watch 'The Royal' regularly - wonderful locations and old cars etc.
It will be a good game to try and spot when your bag comes on screen!
