Hi, Big Jim here:

I would like to offer everyone this spreadsheet for calculating how much you will be spending with all of your coupons/EB.

Not only does this tell you how much you will spend, but it tells you how much you will save in Extra Bucks as well as if your total purchase goes negative or you do not have enough coupons to cover your total item count.

It is an Excel Spreadsheet. If you do not have Excel and would still like to use this, you can download openoffice.org for free and run spreadsheets using their calc application - OpenOffice.org: Home

Feel free to make changes and do whatever to it. It took about 20 minutes to put together, so it may need them. Let me know what you think. You can also suggest your changes be added to a later version at the top of this thread if they are popular enough. All ideas are good ideas.

Big Jim (glad to finally participate and offer something for all you guys have offered me)


Updated 12/14/07 - Formula was incorrect for comparing coupons/items. Fixed!

Updated 02/05/08 - Removed version 1.02 and replaced with 1.01. Version was causing confusion concerning coupons.

Updated 04/08/08 - Sleeker look for version 1.06. Blatant use as a stacking tool removed due to lack of available coupons (those CVS guys caught on!!).

Updated 04/10/08 - Removed Profit concept. Also adjusted how coupon totals for each row are calculated

Updated 04/12/08 - Added unit and total cost fields for each row item
