Black Friday Shopping Planner 2026

Know what to buy and what to skip before the sales start. Type what you want and its regular price; when you spot a deal, type the price, and this planner tells you buy or wait, the % off, and whether it still fits your budget, must-haves first.

WHAT YOU GET

• Wish List: item, who it's for, must-have or nice-to-have, regular price, deal price, store
• A verdict for every item: Buy (a real deal), Wait (not enough off) or Watching (no deal yet)
• Fits your budget? Must-haves are counted first, so you see exactly what to drop
• Dashboard: budget, what's on your list, spent, left, saved, and a countdown to Black Friday
• A buy-now list that builds itself: good deals that fit, in priority order
• Checks in plain words: over budget, weak deals, items still without a deal

HOW IT WORKS

1. Type your budget (and what counts as a real deal: 20% to start).

2. List what you want with the regular price.

3. Type deal prices as you find them. It decides buy or wait.
