Introducing: Add to Cart Energy

Because not all deals deserve your money.

If you’ve ever stared at your phone thinking,
“Okay but is this actually a good deal… or am I just tired?”

Welcome. You’re home.

I scroll so you don’t have to. But even I needed a system. Because let’s be honest — the internet will slap a “40% OFF” sticker on literally anything and expect us to lose all common sense.

So I created something better.

Something scientific.
Something refined.
Something slightly unhinged but still responsible.

I give you:

🛒 The Add to Cart Energy™ Plan

Every deal I share gets rated based on its true “Add to Cart” energy. Not hype. Not influencer fluff. Not fake urgency.

Actual buy-it-or-don’t energy.

⭐ 1 Cart – Mildly Interesting

It’s on sale.
It’s fine.
If you were already planning to buy it, this is your moment.

But we are not rearranging our budget for this.

Energy level: Calm. Collected. Rational adult.

⭐⭐ 2 Carts – Solid Deal

Good price. Legit savings.
Worth grabbing if it’s on your list.

We approve… cautiously.

Energy level: Responsible but slightly excited.

⭐⭐⭐ 3 Carts – Add to Cart

Now we’re talking.

This is a genuinely good find. If you’ve been waiting for a sale, this is the one. I’d buy it. I probably did buy it.

Energy level: Confident click.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 Carts – Hide Your Wallet

Why is this this cheap?

This is the kind of deal that makes you text someone. The kind that makes you double-check the price twice.

Energy level: Dangerous.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Carts – Unhinged Add to Cart Energy

This is feral pricing.

This is “I was not planning on spending money today but here we are.”
This is group chat activation.
This is chaos, but strategic chaos.

Energy level: We ride at dawn.

Why I Built This

Because I don’t believe in pushing random stuff just to push stuff.

If I wouldn’t actually add it to my own cart?
It doesn’t get posted.

This system keeps me honest. It keeps the deals curated. And it helps you decide quickly whether something is:

• Nice to know

• Worth watching

• Or worth moving on immediately

No guilt. No pressure. Just clarity.

A Quick Transparency Note

Some links I share may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase — at no extra cost to you.

It helps support the time I spend finding these deals (and the ever-growing snack budget in this house).

But here’s the rule:
If it doesn’t have real Add to Cart Energy, it doesn’t make the list.

Welcome to Doomscroll’n Deals.

We scroll.
We evaluate.
We add to cart strategically.

And sometimes… we absolutely lose control.
