Keeping Inventory

[danielan]

I have stopped myself from making fancy charts and graphs of my spending though

Take the plunge! Determining and plotting your "cross-over point" is seriously motivating for savings/investment!

If you think making a spreadsheet for a snus inventory is geeky, then pipe smokers must be the biggest geeks of all. I know of at least one website where people keep inventories of their tobacco tins, so they won't lose the data on their precious stashes if their home PC suffers a hard drive crash. And since many pipe tobacco blends improve with age, tracking the age of the tins is important, too.

Strange. Am I the only anal retentive who dropped the ball? I keep a running tally on sticky notes. I don't even know how to run a computer.......

I have no idea what's in my freezer :^D I have a crapload of snus, and I guess I'll know I'm out of something when I dig through the freezer, and don't find it :^D

I've got some vacuum sealed now and more on the way. They'll be fresh as can be for quite some time I think. I know how long it'll take me to go through my staple snus and I have a dozen or so different odd cans. I'm buying while my wife doesn't seem to mind. It's pretty much a good season now for work so I'm stocking up and building a cache and take advantage of some bulk buys.

It's good to log what you are trying at the beginning. I never kept notes about tastes I got from them but I think I have a good memory for this kind of things. Once you find the few you really dig and start ordering rolls of it that's when the fun begins.

[tom502]

I have 16 cans in my freezer.
I think I have 4 Rothbrix Brown Portion, 3 Offroad Original Portion, 1 Odens Classic Original Portion, and the rest Phantom Classic Original Portion. I think....

For those of you that use the spreadsheet....

So, I thought I was out of los, right? I'm digging through my vacuum bag stash in the freezer looking for another can of Grov portions, and in the same bag as Grov..I found a can of Gen ES los!! It was like Christmas in May, I was so very excited. You will never know how I felt if you use a spreadsheet and track your inventory...LMAO

On the other hand, if I were more organized I could have placed a los order sooner...lol

HI Rick,
I just made one out the other night. Found out I have 148 cans and two more rolls coming. Makes finding your snus much easier!

I just made one for the hell of it, but it should help me keep track of the vitals so long as I update it. I learned I've only got 3 tins of N&J left, which I'll have to rectify.

I'm going to guess that most of the other guys in here have a change jar. Don't know why, but it seems like 99% of guys I know toss all their spare change into a jar until it builds up and they go get cash for it. I've kept a spreadsheet on my change jar for a while, so I can tell how much I have, and when to break out the coin wrappers to roll some up.

I don't keep a spread sheet. I have my snus organized neatly in the left 1/3 of my freezer and can see what I have without moving anything.

92 Gotland Gul los, 46 Taboca mini, 8 General los, 9 Roda Lacket Los, 16 Thunder minis and 2 offroad LCWG.

It helps that I don't keep a big variety and the only one I really will panic about running out of is the Gotlands.
