Quick answer
Yes, Glossier sets can save you money, but the savings depend on whether you would have bought the individual items anyway. The You Look Good Pet Set drops from a $48.00 comparison price to $36.00, and the Glossier You Routine drops from $127.00 to $82.55. If you only want one item from a set, buying it alone usually costs less than the bundle.

What the price gap actually tells you
A set is only a deal if the gap between the catalog comparison price and the set price reflects items you actually want. The You Look Good Pet Set shows a $12.00 difference between its $48.00 comparison price and its $36.00 set price. The Glossier You Routine shows a $44.45 difference between its $127.00 comparison price and its $82.55 set price. Those gaps are real, but they only matter if the contents match your routine.
When a set costs more than buying single
The most common mistake is buying a set for one hero item and treating the rest as free. If you only want one product from the Glossier You Routine, the $82.55 set price is more than that single item would cost on its own. The set only wins when you would use at least most of what is inside. Check the contents list against what you already own before you compare prices.
The travel and gifting exception
Small sets change the math because they solve a different problem. The Glossier You Mini Wardrobe is $9.90 against a $15.00 comparison price, and its compact packaging is built for storage or travel. If you want to try the lineup before committing to full sizes, or you need a ready-to-give option, the lower entry price can be worth it even if you would not buy every item separately.
