Buy It Later - Your Ultimate Shopping Manager - Notion Template

🛒 About the Template

Buy It Later is a smart and flexible Notion template built to organize and manage your shopping needs — whether you're planning weekly buys or saving items for later.
It helps you categorize everything into a Wishlist and a Buying List, track reminder dates, handle recurring purchases, and stay on top of what you need to buy — all in one place.

✨ Key Features

• Wishlist & Buying List Management
  Easily categorize each item into either your Wishlist (thinking about it) or Buying List (ready to purchase).
• Reminder System
  Set a reminder date for each item and get auto-updating prompts like:
  • “2 days to buy”
  • “Buy today”
  • “Overdue by X days”
• Recurring Purchases
  Quickly add items that you purchase repeatedly (e.g., groceries, household supplies) without retyping every week.
• Add Items Quickly
  Buttons and templates let you add new items fast:
  • ➕ Add to Wishlist
  • 🛒 Add to Buying List
  • 🔁 New Recurring Item
  • 📋 Add from Templates
• Clean, Organized Views
  • View only this week’s shopping items
  • View your entire wishlist for future planning
  • Separate recurring and one-time buys
• Smart Category System
  Categorize your shopping items into:
  • Groceries
  • Household essentials
  • Electronics
• Dynamic Purchase Messages
  A formula automatically calculates and shows you how many days are left until you should buy something, or if it’s overdue.

🛠️ How to Use

1. Add Items:
   Use the “Add to Wishlist” or “Add to Buying List” button to add new items based on your intent.
2. Set Reminders:
   Assign a reminder date to any item if you want a notification when it’s time to purchase.
3. Move Between Lists:
   • When you're ready to buy something from your Wishlist, simply switch it to the Buying List.
   • Items you don’t need immediately stay safely in your Wishlist.
4. Recurring Items:
   For things you buy repeatedly, use the "New Recurring Item" button to save time.
5. Weekly Check:
   Before going shopping, check your Buying List view filtered for the current week.
   All items with reminders and buying status will be visible in one spot.
