I think at least you will find Perks and Quirks well worth the money.

SJ Games is putting an increasing amount of effort into producing less expensive PDF volumes. Most of their recent ones have been targeted around $6-$10. For example, my last few supplements, Chinese Elemental Powers, Enhanced Senses, and Back to School, have fallen into that range. Even the relatively huge Social Engineering is only $14. The reason is precisely that such supplements are relatively more affordable. . . .

I don't find all of the PU volumes equally useful. Impulse Buys just really doesn't fit my personal campaign style, for example. But the very best ones, Perks and Quirks, strike me as nearly indispensible, rivaling Powers and well ahead of Martial Arts or Social Engineering. Of course, as a GM I do a lot of character design; there's nothing like a well chosen perk or quirk to bring an NPC to life.
