Price book ~ it's coming together

Procrasting no longer, I've finally sat down today whilst the children were working and finished putting my new price book together.

I picked up another little notebook from the supermarket. This blue one I have in my handbag as is (although I may also pretty this up later) because I'm finding keeping all my notes together really helps. Things like notes from phonecalls, errands to run, shopping lists ... sometimes something just jumps to mind and if I don't write it down, I forget. So I just write in the date and any notes which come to mind. It's only A6 in size, so quite compact.

Some pretty wrapping paper and clear contact to make a much nicer cover.

Inside, the first page indexes all the categories I came up with whilst going through my current supplies. I've colour coded them, using felt-tip pens, then used the colours to highlight the pages.

Then in went my first entry!

I think I'll go through this month's worth of shopping dockets to start off my entries.

Now, hubby laughed a bit at seeing me working at all of this, but since he knows all about doing company purchasing orders, I explained it with the corporate overtone and now he totally sees it's validity.

This should become a very useful resource over the course of a year!

It looks great! Budgeting would be much easier using something like that.
