How to Use Litbuy Spreadsheet Step-by-Step (2026)

So you have heard about the litbuy spreadsheet and want to know exactly how to use it. Good news: you do not need to be a tech wizard or a spreadsheet guru. In this step-by-step guide, we walk you through every click, every filter, and every shortcut so you can go from zero to deal-hunting hero in under ten minutes.

Step 1: Access Your Litbuy Spreadsheet

The first thing you need is a link. You can get the free litbuy spreadsheet instantly by visiting our dedicated page. Once you have the link, open it in Google Sheets (preferred) or download it as an Excel file. We recommend Google Sheets because it updates in real time and works on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop.

If you are on mobile, open the Google Sheets app and paste the link. The sheet will load as a view-only file by default. Bookmark it so you never lose access. Premium users get an editable copy with advanced filters and sorting tools.

Step 2: Understand the Layout

Every litbuy spreadsheet follows a clean, consistent structure. Here is what you will see when you open it for the first time:

Column	What It Shows	Why It Matters
Product Name	Exact item name and variant	Avoid confusion between similar products
Category	Shoes, Hoodies, Jackets, etc.	Filter to find what you want fast
Original Price	Retail price before discount	See your baseline savings
Deal Price	Current lowest verified price	Know the real cost right now
Savings %	Percentage discount	Spot the biggest bargains instantly
Store Link	Direct clickable URL	No searching, no guessing
Updated	Last price verification date	Avoid expired deals
Rating	Curator quality score	Prioritize the best value items

Step 3: Filter by Category

The real power of the litbuy spreadsheet is filtering. At the top of the sheet, click the small filter icon on the "Category" column. A dropdown will appear with every available category. Uncheck "Select All," then check only the category you want — for example, Shoes or Hoodies and Sweaters. Hit apply, and the sheet instantly shrinks to show only matching products.

Pro tip: You can combine filters. Filter by Category AND sort by Savings % descending. This shows the deepest discounts in your chosen category at the top. It is the fastest way to find the absolute best deals on the litbuy spreadsheet.

Step 4: Sort by Price or Discount

Once you have filtered to a category, click the arrow on the "Savings %" column header and choose "Sort Z to A." This ranks deals from biggest discount to smallest. Alternatively, sort the "Deal Price" column A to Z to find the cheapest items first. Experiment with both — depending on your budget, one view may be more useful than the other.

Step 5: Click and Buy

When you find a product you like, click the link in the "Store Link" column. This opens the official product page in a new tab. Every link in the litbuy spreadsheet is verified and points directly to the merchant. No affiliate redirects, no tracking tricks. You shop on the official site with full consumer protection.

Before you buy, double-check the "Updated" column. Deals change fast. A deal updated today is far more reliable than one from three days ago. If a price looks too good to be true and the update date is old, open the link to confirm it is still active.

Step 6: Bookmark and Return Daily

The litbuy spreadsheet is updated every 24 hours. New deals appear, old ones vanish, and prices shift. Make it a habit to open the sheet once a day — morning coffee time works great. Premium subscribers get email alerts when a category they follow gets a major update, but even free users stay ahead by checking daily.
