First rule: hide all invoices
Second Rule: obfuscate when answering "how much did it cost"
Third Rule: if above doesn't work, rapidly change subject to what she spends
If all above fail - RUN :rofl:

Here's the approach I took when I bought a (brand new) dewar and transfer device last year:

1) Evade. "How much did you pay for that thing?"
- "Oh, it's still a work in progress. Did you get cat food?"

2) Distract. "How much did you pay for that thing?"
- "Hmmm....darn! I forgot to get coffee beans. Oh well, I'm off to Peet's. Want a mocha?"

3) Divert. "How much did you pay for that thing?"
- "What? ....do you think we should do hardwood or just replace the carpet in the hallway?"

4) Answer without answering. "How much did you pay for that thing?"
-"A lot.....probably too much, but I wanted it to be clean for our culinary excursions."
