Scroll your favourite shops, fill your cart, go all the way through checkout — without limits, without guilt, as much as you want. Don't Buy Me runs you through a pretend checkout so you get the dopamine hit without spending a penny.
No account · No data collected · All data stays on your device
The extension quietly catches the button click before it reaches the store.
A realistic flow appears — cart review, shipping address, payment form. All simulated.
Hit place order. You receive a pretend order ID, tracking number, and delivery date.
Zero charges. Zero packages. Just the satisfaction of clicking buy — without the regret.
Research shows the dopamine spike from impulse shopping happens at the moment of purchase — not when the parcel arrives. By the time the box shows up, the excitement is mostly gone.
Don't Buy Me hijacks that exact moment. You still press the button. You still fill in the form. You still get the confirmation. You just don't lose any money.
Over time, the loop weakens — and so does the urge.
Don't Buy Me is a free side project — no ads, no subscriptions, no selling your data.
If it's saved you from a bad purchase or two, consider buying me a coffee. It helps cover Chrome Web Store fees, domain costs, and time spent building new store integrations.
I collect absolutely nothing. No analytics, no crash reports, no usage statistics.
Your pretend orders, virtual balance, and settings are stored only in your browser's local storage.
The extension makes zero network requests of its own. There is no backend, no sign-up, no cloud sync.
The card and address fields in the pretend checkout are never stored or transmitted anywhere.
Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data permanently.
There are no third parties involved. No SDKs, no trackers, no ads. Nothing.
Got a bug report, a store you'd like supported, or just want to share how much you've "spent" without spending? I'd love to hear from you.
