     public float Cost;
     public int modifier;
     
 
 
     void Start()
     {
         
 
         Cost = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("newcostmod");
     }
     public void Update()
     {
         CostT.text = "Cost: " + Cost.ToString("F0");
 
         PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("newcostmod", Cost);
 
     }
     public void Buy()
     {
         GameObject gamemanager = GameObject.Find("GameManager");
         gameManager gamemanagersc = gamemanager.GetComponent<gameManager>();
 
         if(gamemanagersc.currSlaps >= Cost)
         {
             gamemanagersc.currSlaps -= Cost;
             gamemanagersc.slapModifier += modifier;

@TvattSvampen make Cost a list with Cost[]. notice that I'm not sure about that this works

public Text CostT;

  public float Cost[];
  public int modifier;
  
 
 
  void Start()
  {
      
 
      Cost = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("newcostmod");
  }
  public void Update()
  {
      CostT.text = "Cost: " + Cost.ToString("F0");
 
      PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("newcostmod", Cost[]);
 
  }

}

They're trying to store an array of floats as a single float. Pretty sure this is nonsense.

If you want to store information specific to an item in PlayerPrefs, then clearly it needs to have a key that's specific to the item. That's probably your starting point. Instead of

 PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("newcostmod", Cost);

You're looking for something like

 PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("newcostmod_" + item.uniqueID, Cost);

But the way you've set things up that may not be possible without a fair bit of work.
