Expense Tracker Printable

Expense log printable with date, amount and description columns

This expense log printable has three columns: the date, the amount and a description of what you bought. You fill in each purchase as you make it, so a week of coffees, fuel and groceries ends up in one dated list.

Three columns keep it quick to fill in at the checkout.

A month of entries shows where your money went before you sit down to set a budget. The description column is where you'd note whether a payment was rent, a takeaway dinner or a birthday gift.
