As transcribed from FFDoc-1193.pdf.

Gen started keeping lists of purchased items in a notebook starting on 10/1/1915. Note that she had been married to Chief less than a month at the time! She actually kept two lists in the same notebook: one was used mainly for groceries (Pages 2 - 49), the other for non-food items (Pages 52-77). The budget continued through the end of July, 1916. 

• The relative cost of some items is surprising. For instance, a pound of butter sold for around $.40, while Gen often bought "steak" for $.25!
• Some items are particular to that era: Gold Dust (washing powder), Fairy Soap, Shoe blackening, Sweet Oil (olive oil), Senna leaves, Castile Soap, Uneeda Biscuits (although those were sold until 2009), etc.
  
• Gen and Chief went through "food phases". For instance, they purchased "cheesecake" several times during March 1916, but not before or after. And ice cream was popular in July of 1916, etc.
  
• Although Gen did usually make grocery purchases nearly every day (especially bread), she did her "major" shopping on Saturdays. Her Grocery purchases on that day are more than double those of the next closest weekday.
  
• Gen and Chief seemed to be doing OK financially! There are purchases of items such as records and a Victrola (probably used or on credit, since new ones cost at least 3 times as much); Sunday meals were often a relatively expensive roast of beef or lamb, and there are occasional "extras" such as Candy or Ice Cream.
  
• One major difference in the last 100 years: on 2/20/1916, Chief makes an note in the budget log certifying Gen's entries!
  
• Chief's salary during this time was $1100/year, or $91.67/month. Their expenditures per month average around $60, so there may well have been purchases not included (for instance, Rent doesn't appear after February 2016), or they were doing a good job of saving!
  

While every effort was made to transcribe the information accurately, there are some entries that could not be transcribed, while others may be incorrect. If you find any inaccuracies in the transcription, please contact me.

To give some idea of what items cost, I've also included the 2017 EQUIV. column showing the cost as adjusted from 1915 dollars to 2017 dollars. While various calculators use different numbers, I equated one 1915 dollar to $24.44 in 2017 dollars.

The NOTES column was used to show any side-information that Gen included, such as when she purchased 2 cans of something, or mentioned the total weight of the purchase. Comments that are enclosed in square brackets [ ] are editorial comments/observations that I made. For example, the first appearance of the item "Gold Dust" is accompanied by the comment that it was a brand of washing powder available at that time. Which does make more sense than Gen purchasing small packets of actual gold dust!
