This shopping site made me rethink every purchase

I’ve always liked to think of myself as a pretty mindful shopper. I don’t usually buy on impulse; I compare prices, and I genuinely believe most of what I buy makes sense. But Guilt Gauge, a website that tracks and analyzes your spending habits, hit me with a tough realization. It turns out that I had no real idea why I was buying half the things in my cart—the kind of behavior that ends up on those “tech gadgets you’ll regret buying” lists when you skip the thinking part.
