I wouldn’t call myself frugal by any means, I generally support people spending their money on nice things that they find value in so long as they’re not living beyond their means.
That being said, IMHO dropping $5k on a ring makes you a god damn idiot.
There are definitely pieces of jewelry that are worth that price tag.
That said, if you would like to by a crushed moissanite and tin love bracelet for that special someone, you should do it. A romantic dinner of two foodlike beef and cheddar max sandwiches, and a night of peaky blinders is a fine way to bond.
I would say if you’re spending more than like 15k you’re crazy, but 5k is not insane money.
The line of insane money depends on income and priorities really.
It’s supposed to be 3x pay checks right?
I live paycheck to paycheck so someone better do the proposing to me
The idea that you’re “supposed” to spend $X on a ring is absurd. Are you getting engaged to show off your wealth or to commit to a relationship? What does spending excessive amounts of money on a trinket have anything to do with the latter?
If you were to adhere to that dumb rule, it’s based on income, not income minus expenses.
The receipt total $4599.02 doesn’t add up if they only got Whipped cream chargers 24ct for $19.99 they could get 230 boxes and then buy something else for $1.32
Bag of balloons.
AI slop maybe?
‘At least he died doing what he loved: a bunch of whip-its’
“At least he died doing what he loved…”
Which was not his girlfriend, who, coincidentally, he explicitly chose not to make his fiancée, and who he also sent a clear message to via buying one engagement ring’s worth of whip-its on the way out.
Your brain would be mush at the end of half of that. That’s for a party fsfs
What in the fuck do you need ~5,520 whippets for?
Precursors for some concoction I’m not enough of a ‘chemist’ to understand?
Stocking up for P Diddy’s next party?
To inhale the nitrous and get high. Call them doing whip-its here.
I think this woukd end me
230.066
230 whippets and a $1.32 pack of gum
Why 24 cents for 19.99 dollars?
I think “ct” on this receipt is short for “count” rather than “cent.”
Get a tank
Hippy Cracktacular.

Whippets are also extremely addictive.

Ever seen a pile of discarded small silver canisters? That would be them.
