not for me, my wife don't like jewelry...when we started talking marriage, she said if i spent more than a grand on her engagement ring, she would say no...and when we did the window shopping, every ring she "mentioned" was in the $500-$700 range. she got mad that i spent $$$ on a walmart bracelet for her from the 2 kids for christmas. It was only $38.

she won't spend more than $20 for a pair of jeans, she has taken to buying gently used clothes in large lots off of ebay.
