Do this before adding to cart.
Have you ever found yourself buying something you dont need while shopping online?
It might be a cute shirt, a new phone case, or aviral beauty productyou saw while scrolling.
Creator@mara_sumnerdoes this, too.
Iscreenshot things so I dont buy them, she said.
I [then] have to wait at least 30 days, thats my rule!
Some items she screenshotted?
A plaid jacket, the viral Dragon Diffusion bag, a Madewell button-down, and some skincare.
If that happens, take a pic instead of buying it right away.
Saving a screenshot is a way to promise yourself that youll come back later for a second look.
Its also reassuring to know you wont lose the item if you scroll.
You could also create a whole folder just for your to-buy screenshots to keep them organized.
From there, Woroch recommends waiting at least 24 hours before you revisit the screenshot.
If you forget about the pic, congrats!
You just saved money.
If you find you still wanteverything24 hours later, then wait a full month instead like @mara_sumner.
In some cases, the item will sell out, but thats OK. Woroch recommends deleting the picture after your initial waiting period.
Its the perfect case of, Out of sight, out of mind.
