The price tag lies. The cost per use tells the truth.
Two purchases. Two very different stories. Tap to reveal what they really cost.
Worn 3 times a week for 2 years. That is 312 wears from a single purchase.
Used twice, then forgotten in the back of a cupboard.
The expensive one was the bargain. The cheap one was the waste. Skip or Buy shows you the real number before you buy.
As Terry Pratchett wrote: a man who buys cheap boots spends more over a lifetime than a man who buys good ones. The price tag punishes those who cannot see past it.
