I wonder if there were any brands or items that were outliers in the cost to value metric? I prefer to buy nicer things that last a long time, but clothing is an area where cost is only loosely coupled with quality. Spending more doesn’t always get you more.

I assume the data was manually logged? It’d be cool to have visual detection via a camera

Man this hit me right after discovering https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com . I feel like I need to start tracking thing I buy and how much I use them to really get a handle on my con00merism problem.

Interesting data, but it seems overly complex and could easily be simplified by having less clothes. Example I have so few shirts that I wear each one on a weekly basis. Because of the frequency I quickly figure out when a brand is not of quality and switch when necessary. It also makes determining cost per wear much easier. If a shirt makes it through the year then the cost per wear is price/52.
