Cope-or-Not saved me $400 this month alone

Confession thread. Things I almost bought before checking the tool:

  • LED mask ($180) โ†’ "mixed, consumer panels underdose" โ€” checked the irradiance spec of the one in my cart: 8mW/cmยฒ. Returned mentally.
  • Jaw exerciser ($45) โ†’ cope, TMJ risk
  • Biotin megadose ($30) โ†’ cope unless deficient
  • Collagen ($55/mo) โ†’ mixed, "modest, industry-funded" โ€” okay I bought this one anyway, sue me
  • Face yoga course ($90) โ†’ mixed-to-cope for my age

The pattern I've internalized: if the marketing is a before/after, check the lighting; if it's a mechanism, check the citation. The tool does the second part in 5 seconds.

What has Cope-or-Not talked you out of?

Castor oil for brows. The entry literally says 'a conditioner being sold as a growth serum'. Brutal and correct.

It talked me INTO microneedling+minox (B grade, real RCT) which I'd dismissed as forum bro-science. Works both directions.
