Looking for a way to track your shopping expenses and figure your grocery bill before even walking into the store? I like to use this spreadsheet in conjunction with my weekly ads to help me stay within my $60/week budget for my family of 6.
Grocery List Calculator
This calculator is a Google Spreadsheet. To use it right click on the link above and select "open link in new tab". Scroll to the bottom and click on edit this page. Please don't really edit the page just save it to your computer.
Once it is saved to your computer you can use it like you would any other Spreadsheet file. The green columns (quantity, price, $Q, Q mega) are number columns that MUST be filled in for it to calculate. $Q means money off coupons. So if you have a 25 cents off coupon for a product it goes in that column. Q mega means coupon mega, if you have a "$10 off your $50 purchase" coupon it would go in this cell. I think everything else is self explanatory. If not please comment and I will help you out.

I just want to say that I am delighted everytime I open my e-mail and find a Dooley's Doodles. You are doing more than a magnificent service to help us all save money. Martha Stewart is getting old you know and you are alot cuter that her anyway. Tell her to move over, she is yesterday's leftovers.
Anyway I was wondering if you could expand your gasoline spreadsheet to 45 miles per gallon at 2.59 per gallon? That would be something I can use. I loved the pictures of the wedding dress! Definately your prayers were answered! ,and what a beautiful model (new sister in-law)
