Wondering who uses a buyers card? Do you have one you can find online or do you make your own?
More of a question of whether or not you have any prices written down when y9ou go to a sale to help guide your purchases, or whether you just wing it.Do you mean like these? The sale yard has stacks of them on the counter. I usually grab two of them. One to write down what I buy. And one to write information on ones that sell that I want to remember selling data. The wife just gathered a bunch of them I have sitting around on my desk. The stack is nearly an inch thick.

Is that old math or new math.I have been known to do that. Here is a card I made up for when they sell bred cows by the pound. I wanted to have $1,200 a cow as my cut off. You will note a 1,200 pound cow cost $1.00 a pound. Calves I always have a maximum $ per pound in my head. Also being able to do math in your head quickly helps.

Calculator. I don't know if they programed it with old math or new math?Is that old math or new math.
I do the same.I do that sometimes when my son and I are at a sale... and he uses the calculator on his phone and just looks at me when I am pretty darn close to what they actually brought... and then shakes his head...
