How to use it in Google Sheets
Download the file above.
Open Google Sheets → File → Import → Upload, and choose the file. (In Excel, just open it.)
Add one row for each thing you buy. Fill the last column a few days later, when you know if it was worth it.
Check the Summary sheet at the end of the month. Change the year in cell B1 if you need to.
Tired of filling in a spreadsheet?
Most people stop after a week or two. Pay2Value does the same thing on your phone: it logs TNG, ShopeePay, MAE and bank payments for you, and asks "Would you buy it again?" at the right time.

Is the template free?
Yes, it is free to download and use.
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Import the .xlsx file in Google Sheets (File → Import). The formulas and drop-down lists keep working.
Why a "Would you buy it again?" column?
Totals show how much you spent, not whether it was worth it. Marking Yes or No a few days later shows how much went to things you regret.
