Thank you. So if I am doing a portrait at 10 am with non harsh skies this will be a wasted $15 ?

If you are buying a $15 circular polarizer, you are wasting your money. Good ones cost, and why put anything but a good one on your lens anyway.

Cheap polarizers are are fine for learning with, but they do tend to add unwated color and some don't fully polarize.

I will add yet another vote in favor of the Marumi Super DHG. Once you have the funds you might want to consider it. But until then, play away with the cheap ones.

Thank you. I'm going with the 77 no filter and do the thing where you combine 39 shots to make one.
