My price-tab spiral was stealing my meal-prep time

For about two weeks, every refill reminder turned into an hour of peptide price tabs. I'd start with one question, then end up with twelve open, no dinner plan, and a weird anxious feeling.

Small win today: I set a 15-minute timer, wrote down the three things I actually care about, closed the rest, and still got my chicken and rice bowls prepped before my 9pm wind-down. I'm down 46 lb since January, and I don't want the cost rabbit hole to become my new late-night scroll.

My next habit is to check once, screenshot the note, and move on. For those who've found a balance: what cutoff or rule keeps price-checking from eating your evening?
