I also track prices. I don't put it down on paper or even
electronically, I mentally note the item and price and it goes into my
big databank in my head (although it doesn't seem to be quite as big as
it used to be). It's called learning, that's how I and others know
whether an item is low priced (jump on it !) or high priced (pass it
up). How else would anyone determine if an item were a good price or
not ?
Keep on Tom, Skip and all.
