I'm a geek (look at my pretty spreadsheet)

October 21st, 2006 at 10:45 pm

Just to prove I'm a geek I did a spreadsheet of all the fiesta I bought, how much I paid vs how much the MSRP is and the "sale price on the web is).

I spent $147 on the Fiesta I bought. Had I bought all the pieces full price the MSRP the total would have been $854. Had I bought the pieces on sale (prices are from Macy's sale prices posted on the web and dinnerwareusa.com's sale prices) I'd have spent $592 to purchase what I bought. Sales taxes and shipping/gas are excluded from the above figures.

If you feel like confirming just how geeky I am please feel free to look at my spreadsheet. This was the first thing I've done on Google Docs. Geekiness loves company Smile

    Looks like you made out like a bandit. Smile
    Spreadsheets are such fun to play with, and they can be so very powerful as a tool for money management. I love databases, but I live in spreadsheets. Geek to the max.

    I love spreadsheets also. When I took my Personal Finance course last semester I made up spreadsheets using a lot of the debt formulas and use them each month to see how we're doing.

    Way to go on the Fiesta! Is there a color you collect, or do you collect all colors?
