These are the dates when stores usually run big sales, not a promise that a price will drop. Items marked "can wait for a sale" move to a sale date up to two months away. Check the price a few weeks before, so you can tell a real discount.

About this tool

Make a list of what you need and want to buy, with prices and priorities, and say how much you can spend each month. The planner buys needs first, keeps what is left for the next month, moves items that can wait to the next big sale (Black Friday, 11.11, Prime Day…) and shows when everything will be bought.

How to use it

  1. 1 Type your monthly budget for the list and any money already saved.
  2. 2 Add each item with its price and a priority: need, want or if money is left.
  3. 3 Tick "can wait for a sale" for items you can buy a little later, and set "not before" for things you only need from a certain month.
  4. 4 Read the month-by-month plan, what is left each month and the coming sale dates; copy the link to keep or share the list.

Frequently asked questions

How does it decide what to buy first?

Needs come first, in your list order. If the next need does not fit yet, the month's money is kept for it instead of being spent on wants. Wants and "if money is left" items are bought when they fit; a big one waits while cheaper ones go ahead.

What does "can wait for a sale" do?

If a big sale date (Black Friday, 11.11, 12.12, Prime Day, Mother's Day…) is up to two months after the month the item would be bought, the item moves to that sale. Sales are when stores usually cut prices, not a guarantee: check the price a few weeks before so you can tell a real discount.

Does money I do not spend carry over?

Yes. What is left in a month is added to the next month's budget, as if you were saving it.

Does it show prices from stores?

Not yet: you type the prices. Price tracking for Brazilian stores is planned; the list already works with any currency.

Is my list sent anywhere?

No. The list is kept in the page address (so "Copy link" shares it) and on this device. Nothing you type is sent to us or to any store.
