I keep track of prices in cost per kg (or liter) so I am not fooled by shrinkflation and so that I know when a good sale is, without having to remember all prices. Basically just have a giant spreadsheet with the numbers.
Cool.
If possible, could you share your inferences from it?
Like how the prices of products are connected or which product is affected most/least?
I don't really run analysis on the numbers. I just use them when I'm shopping to see if a price is good or not.
I have noticed that at least here in Denmark, it never makes sense to buy butter if it's not on sale, and some sales are still priced badly.
So butter is expensive in Denmark? What is your baseline?
The good price is 60 DKK per kg, though that price is rare. 80 is more realistic and common.
Where did you get that 60 dkk number from? If 80 is common wouldn’t that be the baseline?
I write down the best price I've seen, so it's not necessarily a common price. But I feel like the lowest price something has been sold for recently is a good baseline to compare sales against.
