- (2025-07-24) Lifestyle Virtual Assistants: Don’t Buy That – Impulse Spending Blocker “I’ve been using Don’t Buy That for a few weeks now, and it’s genuinely changed how I shop online. Whenever I click “Buy,” the little pause screen gives me just enough time to ask myself: “Do I really need this?” I’ve saved £100+ so far by avoiding impulse buys—and without feeling deprived. What I love: Automatically appears on all my favourite UK sites (Amazon UK, ASOS, eBay, Temu, more…) Clean, distraction‑free design—no tracking or data leaks Customisable delay timer (3–5 seconds) for that extra mental nudge If you’ve ever regretted a 2am purchase, this is the extension for you. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to shop smarter and keep more money in their pocket!
