HOW IT WORKS

1. Enter the price of any item
2. Pick a category — clothes, electronics, kitchen, fitness, furniture, or create your own
3. Instantly see the cost per use, a value score from 0 to 100, and a Buy, Think Twice, or Skip verdict

Three steps. One answer. The cost per use calculator does the math so you don't have to.

WHY COST PER USE MATTERS

Most budget apps ask "Can you afford this?" Skip Or Buy asks a better question: "Is this worth what you'll pay per use?"

A £200 jacket worn 3 times a week for 2 years? That's £0.64 per wear — less than a coffee. Buy.

A £50 gadget used twice and forgotten? That's £25 per use. Skip.

The price tag can be misleading. The cost per use tells the truth. Stop impulse buying and start making smart shopping decisions backed by real numbers.
