Black Friday Budget Spreadsheet - Cyber Monday Deal Tracker & Shopping List, Excel & Google Sheets

Black Friday is Nov 27 and Cyber Monday is Nov 30. Make your list now, then on sale day type in each price and see right away if it's a real deal. For example, $80 down to $76 is only 5% off, so it gets flagged CHECK (your minimum is 10% unless you change it). $3 one-time.

Why you will like it

- Enter the regular price and the BF/CM price; the saving in $ and % fills in for you.

- Items are flagged CHECK when the saving is below your minimum (10% by default) or the BF/CM price is higher than the lowest price you saw before.

- Budget by category updates from the items you mark bought.

- A return-by date and days-left countdown for each purchase.
