Use price lists to track items or services and their costs..
Price lists give you a quick breakdown of items or services and their prices. You can use them for inventory or reference. Price list templates are completely reusable. As such, they should only include the layout for the price list, not the actual items or services you'll add in later. You should have ample space to accommodate the items on your list. You can create the template in a spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc or Google Spreadsheets.
