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
