In the rigorous world of high-end gourmet sourcing and conscious consumption, the "shelf price" is an unpopular opinion; true market authority is a forensic calculation where the most valuable variable is the Price per Multiples of Unit. A consumer who relies on a general sense of "value" to manage their pantry is an enthusiast waiting for a hidden markup. The professional understands that a product is a financial data set defined by its Packing size, its Multiples, and its documented Certified status (Organic, Fairtrade, etc.). An inventory that only tracks names is a list; an inventory that tracks the normalized intersection of Price (in EUR) and verified Unit (g/kg/mL/L) is a strategic procurement engine.

The Ritual of Curatorial Stewardship

The "Price Check" template is designed for the high-tier consumer or small-batch producer who treats their ingredients as a managed forensic portfolio. It moves your tracking from scattered receipts to a structured, audit-ready digital vault. By standardizing the capture of the Product Description and the specific Purchased from store, the system ensures that your culinary history is always searchable and quantifiable. It acknowledges that knowing the Brand and the specific Purchase Date is as vital for price-trend analysis as the product itself.

The Blueprint: Value Intelligence Architecture

The structure of this library is built to handle the technical and fiscal density of multi-vendor product comparison.

  • Financial Forensics: An automated Price per Multiples of Unit calculation script (round( #{price} / #{packing} * #{multiples} * 100 ) / 100) provides real-time visibility into the true cost of your goods, ensuring that package-size fluctuations are documented with surgical precision.
  • Identification Integrity: The template features a unique multi-barcode matrix—supporting up to nine separate Barcode fields—allowing for the tracking of various product variants and sizes within a single master record.
  • Operational Integrity: With fields for Link, Notes, and high-resolution Photo support, the system anchors your technical acts to verified product data, facilitating high-speed auditing of your entire multi-store pantry.
