AIRTABLE

I started making my homemade products in 2016 and I wasted so much time and energy trying to keep my notes and the lists of my inventory and supplies in a notebook. I soon realized that that's not bringing me anyware. I would keep forgetting how expensive my ingredients were, what was the recipe I used in a particular batch, how much of a certain ingredient I used etc.

Then I discovered Airtable and it made my life so much easier. It's like Spreadsheets but way better with more options and it's generally more user-friendly.

Here's a link to this service. It has a few subsciption plans and I use the free one,it's more than enough.

and that's how I save my formulas...
