One small batch. No endless scrolling. You don’t need to find something to buy.

A deal checker for more thoughtful spending

Keep My Money helps you review Slickdeals and Dealsea offers before an impulse purchase. A discount can be appealing, but personal value depends on what you need, what you already own, and what fits your budget.

How does the 48-hour pause work?

Choose “Wait 48 hours” to save an item in Cooling off. Return after the pause and review whether you still need it. Waiting does not reserve a price or guarantee availability.

Are the ratings product reviews?

No. Personal ratings reflect your answers to four purchase questions. Deal-quality scores require a comparable price you supply. The site does not claim independently verified product quality or price history.

What does potential spending avoided mean?

It totals listed prices of purchases you genuinely considered and then skipped. It is an estimate before tax and shipping, not measured savings. Recording an item as bought removes it from the total.

A good deal.
But a good idea?
