No Bargain Hunting – Needs

Do you buy things only because they are ‘50 % off’ – and end up with stuff you never use? No Bargain Hunting helps you decide before you press ‘buy’. The app shows how long you have gone without a discount-driven purchase, how many things you did not buy and how much money you have kept. And when a ‘today only’ deal tempts you, it helps you pause.

⏱️ YOUR BARGAIN-FREE TIMER
• Live timer in days, hours, minutes and seconds – just swipe
• Start now or enter when you last bought something mainly because it was discounted
• Always see your next goal, with a progress bar
• Home screen widget with your bargain-free days and money kept

❤️ YOUR PROGRESS, STEP BY STEP
• 11 milestones from 24 hours to 1 year on a timeline – from the first day without a bargain chase and noticing the discount pull to a needs list, deals you choose and shopping on your terms
• Every milestone explained in plain words – with practical tips
• Honest about the evidence: looking for a good price is not harmful per se – the point is that you choose
• If you like, a short notification as soon as you reach the next milestone
• Based on research such as Thaler 1985 (transaction utility), Schindler 1998 (smart-shopper feelings), Gollwitzer & Sheeran 2006 (if–then plans) and Lally et al. 2010 (habits) – there are no fixed timelines, so milestones are orientation, not promises

🌬️ HELP WHEN ‘TODAY ONLY’ TEMPTS YOU
• Urge helper with guided breathing – most urges fade within minutes
• Practical tips: needs list, a one- or two-day waiting rule, cost per use, switch off deal alerts

Important: Looking for bargains is not a medical diagnosis, and this app is not a diagnosis or treatment. It is for people who want to buy on purpose; it sells nothing, is not affiliated with any retailer or price-comparison service and does not replace professional advice. If shopping feels out of control, leaves you in debt or you hide purchases, talk to a doctor, a counselling service or a debt-advice service. All values are estimates.
