The Value Tracking System

The Acbuy spreadsheet template allows users to create a detailed record system for their purchases with four key metrics:

  • Original Price:
  • Paid Price:
  • Market Value:
  • Personal Value Rating:

Analyzing Shopping Decisions

By comparing these metrics in your Acbuy spreadsheet, you can evaluate:

  • The actual savings (% and $) on each purchase
  • Whether coveted items are truly valuable investments
  • Your spending patterns and receipt/future purchase priorities

Community Benefits

When shared among shopping communities, these spreadsheets evolve into powerful references that help others:

  • Identify the best products at various price points
  • Spot genuine bargains vs misleading "discounts"
  • Learn which stores offer the best value consistently
