Nowadays, online shopping is very convenient, so many people will go shopping online when they are bored, but this is a serious problem. Sometimes when you don’t want to buy anything, you suddenly see a product that seems useful and you need it, and then you make an impulsive order, and then throw the item aside after using it a few times. In order to solve this problem, some developers have created an “Impulse Shopping Suppressor”. It not only has a web version, but also a thoughtfully developed Chrome extension. After installation, it will remind you next to the price of the product how long you need to work to buy it, thereby helping you to refrain from spending a lot of money on products you don’t actually need.
Introduction and operation instruction of “Impulse Shopping Inhibitor”
- Get the “Impulse Shopping Suppressor” extension
- Go to the official website of “Impulse Shopping Suppressor”
“Impulse Shopping Suppressor” has a web version and a Chrome extension. For computer users, it is highly recommended to install the extension. It is very convenient to use. After setting up, the number converted to working days will be displayed directly next to the product price, without opening the web version.
The developer also added that this tool can bring four major advantages:
- Stop paying for impulse purchases
- Invest money in things that really matter
- Create more conscious spending habits
- Make every penny you spend more meaningful
For those who can’t resist impulse shopping, it’s worth giving it a try.
Click the link above to enter the Chrome store page of “Impulse Shopping Suppressor” and click “Add to Chrome” on the upper right:
This window will pop up, click Add extension, and then the installation is completed:
After opening the extended function icon, the setting options will appear in the sidebar. You need to set 4 pieces of information, namely income type, your monthly salary, the number of hours worked per day, and the number of working days per month:
For example, if I set a monthly salary of 40,000 yuan, work 8 hours a day, and 24 days a month, it will automatically convert product prices based on this data:
In addition, this tool also supports multiple languages, not only Chinese, but also English, German, Indian, etc.:
After setting up, I opened the online shopping platform. I used PChome first, and sure enough, the conversion number of days appeared next to the product price. For the first aibo 10000mah magnetic detachable C+L cable, I needed to work for 3 hours and 16 minutes before I could buy this little thing:
The more expensive the product, the more interesting it is. For example, Sony WH CH720N wireless noise-canceling over-ear headphones require 2 days and 2.7 hours of work to buy:
Not to mention the iPhone 16 Pro Max 256G, which costs NT$43,500 and requires 26 days and 48 hours of work to buy, which is equivalent to more than a month. When you see this number, you may feel a little bit struggling because you have to work for such a long time, and it is calculated without eating or drinking:
Next, I tested momo and it was successful. It will be displayed next to the selling price:
If you don’t want to see the price, the Impulse Shopping Suppressor also provides the function of replacing the price with the number of days. This RTX 5090 large combination package requires more than two months of work without eating or drinking to buy it. It is quite expensive:
The web version also has the function of comparing and comparing whether it is worth it. You also need to enter income information:
After entering it, go to the product details and enter the price of the product you want to buy. There is a quick add option above. I press iPhone 16, and the product price will be automatically filled in:
A comparison will tell you how many cups of rice cakes, osmanthus lemons, movie tickets, and French pan-fried duck breasts you can buy at the same time and at this price:
Is it worth it? It will calculate the return on investment of the S&P 500 index, TSMC, 10-year U.S. bonds, and Bitcoin if the money is invested in the stock market, in one year, five years, and ten years:
