I am working on how to attach a file and as soon as I can get the link to work, I will share a PDF of this price list. I hope that it helps you start your own list to figure out what the price is that you usually pay for items so that you can stock up at the right time and not wait until you are out.
I've been thinking about creating a price list for awhile now, and it hadn't occurred to me to create separate buy/stock up columns- that's a good idea. Part of the reason I haven't actually made the list yet is that I haven't decided what the best format/technology is- should I use Microsoft Excel, or Word, or maybe there's an iPhone app?

I have a problem only buying at the lowest price so I need to remember that I am saving money regardless of the price so I wanted to make sure that there was a range. It helps me know whether I should buy 1 or 20 :) Good luck with your list. I did it in excel so that I could sort it later. I am sure that there will be an iphone/ipad app out there that we can import excel into :) I might have to start looking.
