Black Friday Shopping List & Budget Tracker Spreadsheet: Holiday Sales Deals

Plan your shopping before the big November sales and year-end sales, so a 'deal' doesn't blow your budget. List what you need, its usual price and the most you'll pay. During the sales, note the best price you find and the sheet flags real deals and keeps your spending on track.

★ WHAT YOU GET

• 1 spreadsheet (.xlsx) with 4 tabs: Start here, Summary, Setup, Wish list (150 items)

• Wish list: who it's for, priority (Must / Nice / Maybe), usual price, your target price, best price found, store, bought and paid

• Deals at or below your target turn green; over target turns red. 'Saved vs usual' is worked out for each purchase

• Summary: budget, spent, left, saved vs usual prices, deals found, and what's left after the remaining Must items; breakdown by priority

★ COMPATIBILITY

Made for Google Sheets (free Google account; upload the .xlsx to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets), Microsoft Excel 2010 or later, and LibreOffice Calc. Formulas were checked for Google Sheets and Excel compatibility (standard functions only, no macros, no add-ins) and tested in LibreOffice Calc. Unzip the download first (double-click on most computers). Best used on a computer or tablet. Enter dates as real dates (e.g. 3/15/2027 or 15/03/2027).

★ GOOD TO KNOW

• 'Black Friday' is used as a general term for seasonal sales. Not affiliated with any store or event.

• 'Saved' compares with the usual price you enter. Not financial advice.

• Works in any single currency.
