A useful price record answers more than "What number was on the page?" It identifies the exact item, states the sale unit, records when the observation was made and preserves the source used for the check. Without those fields, a historical amount can be mistaken for a current offer or attached to the wrong product.
For the DDPuff record reviewed on 31 July 2026, the ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine product page identified SKU SS-277 and a sale unit of one carton containing 10 individual packs. The page displayed A$351.80 and showed an in-stock state at that time. This article preserves that observation as a dated record. It does not promise that the amount or stock state remains unchanged.
The minimum fields for a defensible price entry
Every price entry should include the following fields in the same row or note:
| Field | Observation recorded on 31 July 2026 |
|---|---|
| Product | ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine – 1 Carton (10 Packs) |
| SKU | SS-277 |
| Sale unit | One carton containing 10 individual packs |
| Displayed amount | A$351.80 |
| Currency | AUD |
| Stock state | In stock at the review time |
| Source | Live DDPuff product record |
The date is essential because price and stock are variable. The product name and SKU are essential because they prevent the amount from being assigned to another ESSE entry. The sale unit is essential because A$351.80 describes the listed carton, not one individual pack.
Step 1: lock the identity before copying the amount
Start with SKU SS-277, then confirm the complete name. The Applemint Wine wording distinguishes this catalogue record from other ESSE names. Do not shorten the entry to "ESSE Change Double" in a way that removes the identifying variant words.
Next, compare the displayed image. The reviewed file shows an ESSE Change Double pack with blue and magenta areas and Applemint and Wine wording. The image is supporting evidence for the current record, not a guarantee of authenticity, contents, origin or future packaging. If the image later changes, the product name and SKU must be checked again before the price history is extended.
Only after those identity fields agree should the displayed amount be copied.
Step 2: state the sale unit beside every price
The live record describes one carton containing 10 individual packs. A standalone number such as "351.80" is incomplete because it lacks currency, unit and date. A better line is:
31 July 2026 - SS-277 - 1 carton (10 packs) - A$351.80 - in stock at review time
This format is compact enough for a spreadsheet but still explains what was observed. It also makes later comparison possible. If a future amount changes, add a new dated row; do not overwrite the earlier row and remove the history.
Step 3: distinguish catalogue navigation from the evidence page
The individual product record is the source for this price observation. The DDPuff Shop is the current catalogue entry point and should be used for a fresh search. The ESSE category can narrow that search to related ESSE records, but it should not replace the product page in a price log because a category contains multiple items.
This distinction reduces a common error: recording the first amount seen near a brand name without confirming which SKU and carton unit it belongs to.
Step 4: record changes without implying a trend too early
One snapshot cannot establish a price trend. Two snapshots show a difference, but the cause still may not be known. A responsible price record states what changed and when, without inventing an explanation.
For each new review:
- Reopen the current product record.
- Confirm the complete name and SKU SS-277.
- Confirm the one-carton, 10-pack sale unit.
- Record the date, AUD amount and stock state.
- Note whether the image or title changed.
- Preserve the previous rows.
- Escalate unexplained identity changes before publishing an update.
Avoid statements such as "the price will continue to rise" or "this is the lowest price" unless a reliable dataset and defined comparison establish them. The journal's purpose is traceable observation, not prediction or promotional ranking.
Keep policy facts in their own sources
A price record does not determine delivery eligibility or return conditions. Check the current shipping policy for Australian delivery information and the returns and refunds policy for return terms. If a specific case is not covered by those pages, use the contact page rather than adding an unsupported answer to the price article.
Separating these sources makes future maintenance easier. A price snapshot can remain as historical evidence while policy pages change independently. It also keeps the article focused on one search task: how to create and interpret the SS-277 price record.
Quality checks before publishing a price update
Before adding a new entry, confirm all of the following:
- The SKU is exactly SS-277.
- The complete product name still includes ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine.
- The listing still states one carton containing 10 individual packs.
- The amount is copied with AUD notation.
- The review date and stock state are present.
- The live image belongs to the same product record.
- No claim is made about future price, availability, health, safety or unrestricted delivery.
If any identity field fails, pause the update. A delayed record is more useful than a prompt but incorrect one.

Common questions
What price was observed for SS 277 on 31 July 2026?
The live page displayed A$351.80 for the listed sale unit at the review time. That amount is a dated observation and must not be treated as permanently current.
What quantity did the displayed amount cover?
The listing stated one carton containing 10 individual packs. It was not recorded as the price of one individual pack.
Should an older price be deleted when the live amount changes?
No. Keep the older dated row and add a new row. Preserving both observations makes the record auditable and prevents a historical article from silently changing meaning.
Does an in stock snapshot guarantee future availability?
No. In stock describes the state observed during the review. Current availability must be checked on the live catalogue.
