Six-month-old prices = six months of wrong margins
Set a reminder frequency for each ingredient. When it's time to confirm the price is still right, you'll know.
Stale prices silently corrupt every margin calculation
You updated flour six months ago. Is that price still right? Probably not. But you won't check until something looks wrong — and by then your margins have been off for months.
- Prices go stale without anyone noticing
- No prompt to verify costs periodically
- Wrong prices mean wrong recipe costs and margins
Periodic reminders keep your prices current without adding to your mental load.
Ingredient prices drift over time, and it's easy to forget to update them — especially for items you don't order frequently. Price confirmation reminders nudge you to verify that your ingredient costs are still accurate.
You set how often you want to be reminded for each ingredient (or category of ingredients), and Recipe Cost Calculator flags the ones that are due for a price check. A quick review keeps your recipe costs accurate without requiring you to remember which ingredients haven't been updated lately.

Why this matters
Never forget to check a price.
Stale prices mean inaccurate recipe costs, which mean your margins aren't what you think they are. Price confirmation reminders are a simple way to keep everything current without building it into your mental to-do list.
