Should I buy this?
“Three questions. A little less theatre from the checkout.”
A quick pause for an unplanned purchase. It does not tell you what to buy. It helps you decide whether this particular decision deserves more time.

What the result means
A “not yet” answer is not a command to leave empty-handed. It is a useful signal that the decision may be happening faster than the plan. Put the item somewhere you will not stare at it, then return after a cooling-off period.
For a printable version, use the pause card. For the longer explanation, read impulse buying vs planned buying or what to do before you buy.
Miss Spent is a money app with an attitude, not a financial adviser. She gives the decision a pause; she never tells you what to buy or invest in.
