On the other hand, if it is restaurant than there are 3 solutions.
1. Go to a different restaurant.
2. It was mentioned this was for special occasions like Mother's Day, hold your nose and pay it.
3. Stay home learn how to make the meal you would get at the restaurant and with the saving buy flowers, maybe even a nice gift. I have been known for having no respect for money but believe this option would be the one most appreciated.
Option #3 could be viewed as a very savvy long-term investment IMO especially by one who allegedly has no respect for money 🥰
