December regret is a budgeting failure disguised as a spending problem. This workbook sets a per-person cap in November, tracks what you actually bought and what you spent, and holds a Black Friday deal tracker so the price you thought was good gets checked against the price on the tag. Year-over-year comparison so next holiday is calmer than this one.
