I already have a spreadsheet.  It works great.  But, always make sure to leave
room to take off a little at a time (say if you are buying piecemeal while sales
are on and can't get all of an ingredient at once).  It's a fantastic way to
shop and keep track.  In addition, make a spreadsheet that matches the
quantities back with the recipies so you can split it back up quickly when you
hit the kitchen with 22 lb of butter for 5 different recipies and need to
remember if it was 5 lb for this or 4 lb for that.
