Type in Supplies and Budget

In this video, you’ll type a list of all the supplies you will need for your celebration, and your budget for all those supplies.

Keeping track of your budget will help you plan ahead for your spending on the party.

It will help you determine whether you should spend less on certain things to save money for others; for example, you may realize that you need to borrow decorations in order to pay for food.

You will automatically move down to the next cell in the column.

Type in all the supplies you will need for your party, pressing Enter or Return between each one to move to the cell below.

When you’re done, click in cell "B2." Look at the item you added in A2, and type what that item will cost.

Now, press Enter to go down Column B and type in the costs of all the supplies you’ve listed in Column A.
