Description
You're in the store. You're holding something. You're thinking: "Is this actually worth it?"
Skip Or Buy gives you the answer in seconds.
Enter the price, pick a category, and instantly see the real cost per use — with a clear Buy, Think Twice, or Skip verdict. No guesswork. No guilt. Just the math.
— HOW IT WORKS —
1. Enter the price
2. Pick a category (clothes, tech, kitchen, fitness, furniture, or your own)
3. See your cost per use, a 0-100 value score, and a clear verdict
That's it. Three steps. One answer.
— WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT —
Most budgeting apps ask: "Can you afford this?"
Skip Or Buy asks: "Is this worth what you'll pay per use?"
A £200 jacket worn 3 times a week for 2 years costs £0.64 per wear. That's less than a coffee. Buy it.
A £50 gadget used twice then forgotten costs £25 per use. Skip it.
The price tag lies. The cost per use tells the truth.
