Step 1: Cloning the Kakobuy Spreadsheet Template
Start by creating your foundation. Most experienced buyers begin with a proven template:
- Open your preferred spreadsheet application (Google Sheets, Excel, or Numbers)
- Create a new spreadsheet titled "Kakobuy Haul [Month] [Year]"
- Set up the basic columns: Item Name, Store/Link, Price (¥), Weight (g), Status, and Notes
- Save the template for future hauls
Pro tip: Always save a clean master copy before adding your specific haul items.
Step 2: Organizing with Multiple Tabs
Effective haul management requires separating different stages and categories:
Essential Tabs to Create:
- "Wishlist"
- "To Order"
- "Ordered"
- "Warehouse"
- "Shipped"
- "Budget"
- "To Order"
Rename tabs by double-clicking the tab name or right-clicking and selecting "Rename."
Step 3: Implementing Visual Color Coding
Color coding transforms your spreadsheet from data to actionable information:
Recommended Color System:
Apply colors to entire rows or specific cells using the "Fill color" tool in your spreadsheet application.
Step 4: Advanced Tracking Formulas
Take your spreadsheet to the next level with automatic calculations:
// Automatic weight-to-cost ratio
=IF(B2>0, C2/B2, "")
// Shipping cost estimator
=D2*0.015+18 // Example shipping calculation
// Total haul cost
=SUM(C2:C50)+SUM(E2:E50) // Items + shipping
// Days in current status
=DAYS(TODAY(), D2) // How long item has been in warehouse
