We get all excited over a $400 car part, and they could care less about it and dont see how we could justify paying that for it, But could justify spending $600 on a purse. Same thing works in reverse, we get excited over expensive electronics and car parts, they get excited over clothes, purses, and shoes. > > You have to learn to use it to your advantage though. If she chooses to buy a $200 pair of shoes, that not my problem, because I know she will get sick of them and they will sit in the closet after a month. But…a $200 shopping spree for my girlfriend will net me about $400 worth of car parts, so i let her go. I let her shop and then I say, well since you bought some things, i am going to buy some parts for the car, and since she is still in the giddy phase over her new purchase, i break out the debit card and start ordering from Summit. This only works within the first week or so of the shopping trip, because after that she is bored with her purchase, and then she doesn’t want you blowing money on car parts when her two week old shoes are already outdated. i do the same thing and it works great. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/women-of-pittspeed-i-have-a-question/187157)._
