(Archived) Extended List

Anyone know of a solution the following problem?

BTW, I'm new to Evernote and just learning the ropes.

I would like to maintain a list of grocery items that I commonly purchase. I would like to maintain information about the item like brand, price(s), vendor(s), product specifics, product specifications, etc. I am thinking that the best way to manage this information would be to create a notebook call something like "Products". Then create a note for each item that I want to track and normally buy periodically.

For example:

Similac Advance Organic Ready To Feed - 32 Fluid Ounces

BabiesRUs: 6.99 / 32 fl oz (sold per Quart or Case of 6 Quart)

Target: 7.29 / 32 fl oz (sold per Quart)

Sam's Club: 6.89 / 32 fl oz (sold Case of 8 Quart)

SimilacWebSite: 7.50 / 32 fl oz (sold per Quart or Case of 6 Quart)

Other product notes:

Then create a note with a list of items that would link to other notes.

Does this sound like a solution or is there a better way?

Thanks,

You could use a table for each item. Or maybe a table for all the items with several rows per item - the row with the item's name being bolded. Cumbersome - and no twisty to drop down the rows with the store details - but presentationally OK.

Might help to tell us which Evernote client (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, etc.) you are using -- they're different, and it's easier to do some operations on some than others.

That is a lot of work just for a grocery list, unless you are doing it for professional reasons requiring detailed price comparisons.

I use a program that is already designed to do most of the detailed work. It runs on a variety of mobile products as well as your desk top.
