Interesting thread/read. I enjoyed reading it. I don't track my c.p.w. if I did I wouldn't buy anything else, lol (except for comfy items)- because most of my items don't get enough wear.

Fascinating read! In my opinion, CPW can be helpful to assess a possible purchase - my black coat was purchased back in 2019 and have used it daily in winter and autumn as it is my only winter coat. I was hesitant to spend £££ but after considering that I'd have used it almost daily for 5 months a year, I went for it. I think the price is now down to few points per wear but will probably add a second coat either this or following winter.

Same applies for my watch, bought 17 years ago and that I wear daily. It's now due for service and I am now wondering if the service fee can be amortised in time for my 50th!

Thanks to all.

I do agree that watches or everyday jewelry is something that can be worth spending the money on. Or outerwear that gets high use.

On a slight tangent, my clothes Cpw has been going down recently my my daughters wearing them.

Eg in 2021, I was by my standards extravagant and bought two pairs of jeans (stocking up on ultra high waist while available). My 2020 jeans were still in good condition too.
But I only wear jeans about 8 months of the year and at most four days a week , so each pair would get maybe one wear, so only 40 a year. At absolute most.

But two of my daughters love the 2021 jeans and borrow them constantly. Maybe another twice a week for one pair and once for the other.

So I say the first 2020 pay, which cost $150 (way more than I had ever spent on jeans) is I think on about 200 wears, so less than $1, and the other one which was $30, has been worn less (flares) but would definitely be getting under the $1.
