Holiday Grocery Budget Spreadsheet, Thanksgiving & Christmas Grocery List Tracker for Google Sheets, Excel Food Budget Planner

Keep Thanksgiving and Christmas groceries on budget. List every item by event and store section, add an estimate, log what you actually paid, and see what's left before you reach the checkout. Works in Google Sheets and Excel with no formulas to touch.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Dashboard: grocery budget, estimated, spent so far, left to spend, items bought (e.g. 9 of 14) and days to Thanksgiving; a table by event (budget, estimated, spent, left) with a chart, and a table by store section.
• Settings: 6 events ready to rename (Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Holiday Party, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve), each with its own grocery budget. Thanksgiving's date is calculated for any year.
• Grocery List: up to 200 items with event, store section (produce, meat & seafood, dairy & eggs, bakery, pantry, frozen, drinks), quantity, store, estimate, actual paid, bought? and over/under, which turns red when an item costs more than planned.
