Quickbooks is the defacto standard, but it has one feature working against it that I absolutely despise: you have no choice but to upgrade when they tell you, OR if you upgrade your operating system. The interface is directly tied to Internet Explorer in Windows, so if you're running Windows 7 and upgrade to Windows 10, you must ALSO upgrade Quickbooks. This may or may not be free.
A better idea might be to look at a cloud-based solution. Wave is free (as of this writing) and while I haven't personally tried it, it looks very promising.
When you do get your software, use it. Record everything you can think of about a transaction, because a year down the road when a customer says "Remember last time when I ordered from you? What did I get? I really want another but I can't remember all the details..." you have to be able to pull that up. On the item line, writing "Shirt, [email protected]" isn't enough. "Shirt; green; large; pointy collar; customer has broad shoulders - leave shrug room! [email protected]" tells you enough to duplicate this order.
