What things actually cost

Most households buy the same things over and over, from the same few vendors, without any systematic record of what they paid. Casabeza's numeric tracking system changes that.

Items, varieties, and units

The price tracking system is built around numeric items — typically consumables with measurable quantities. Each item can have multiple varieties: different sizes, formulations, or configurations that each carry their own pricing history.

A variety is defined by a unit (litres, kilograms, rolls, doses) and a quantity (2.5L, 12 rolls, 500mg). This means Casabeza can compute true cost per unit across varieties and over time, making price comparisons meaningful even when package sizes differ.

Track every purchase

Each time you buy something, log the price and vendor. Casabeza builds a running history of what each variety has cost, who sold it, and when — surfaced as both a raw log and a time-series chart.

Vendors

The vendor list captures where you buy things. Vendors can be tagged with a bill category (groceries, hardware, pharmacy), a website, and notes. Over time, the vendor record accumulates the full history of what they've sold you and at what price.

Linked inventory

Numeric items can be linked to their corresponding inventory items, unifying the consumption record with the physical stock count. A consumable that's tracked in inventory and in numerics gives you a complete picture: what's on the shelf, what it cost, and how fast it moves.

Scan to log

Combined with the label system, price tracking becomes automatic. Attach a label to a product variety, and scanning it at a reader equipped for numeric tracking can log a quantity or price event without any manual data entry.
