Finally stopped my impulse buying

It’s literally my shopping assistant. I take this cool looking calculator out before I buy something to get the cost per use and it makes me think. Perfect for saving money and making better spending decisions.

Amazing app!!

This app is actually amazing! I’m notorious for impulse buying and chasing a dopamine hit, but this app has changed how I view these purchases. It’s helping me make thought out and informed decisions about what I buy and if it’s worth it. When you see the cost per use broken down it really makes you think about it and puts it into perspective. For example, a few years ago I impulsively bought a peloton and used it probably around 50 times over a 2 year window. I eventually sold it at a loss. If I had this app at the time I probably wouldn’t have bought. Here’s to having more money in my savings account rather than spending it on impulsive purchases!! :)
