Rule

Every Friday, put $10 toward #christmas

Online shopping makes it one click to buy something today and pay for it later, with interest.

Scrimp makes it one click to want something today and own it outright when you've saved for it.

How it works

Save it. Tag it. Fund it.

  1. 01

    Save it from any shop

    Click Scrimp on a product page. It reads the name, picture and price, and only on the page you clicked it on.

  2. 02

    Tag it

    Tags are your savings goals. One item can sit in several: the trail shoes count toward #christmas and #trail.

  3. 03

    Fund it with rules

    “Every Friday, $10 to #christmas.” Later: round up every purchase, or 10% of each paycheck.

The numbers

Saving first beats paying later.

Put the same monthly amount toward the same thing two ways: save up for it with Scrimp, or buy it now on a credit card and pay it off. Change the numbers.

Save first with Scrimp

6 months

Interest paid: $0

Buy now on a card

7 months

Interest paid: $42

Saving first keeps $42 in your pocket, and you never owe anyone.

Illustration only. The card side assumes the same payment each month until it's paid off, with interest charged monthly.

Why Scrimp

It lives where the wanting happens.

Small, but it adds up. Just like Scrimp.

Scrimp the Shrimp keeps count of every goal, a little at a time, and does a happy flip when one fills up.

The best way to pay for something is to have already saved for it.
