What are the kinds of purchases for which you’ll "spare no expense"? What kinds of purchases do you want to buy spending as little as possible? What are the major differences between these two categories that drive your attitude regarding price?

"Spare no Expense" Purchases

When purchasing long-term items (assets) which cannot be consumed within a short-term period, one tends to "spare no expense."  These purchases are dictated by their quality and not price.  For example, in constructing a building an individual or an entity does not consider the price as a deciding factor.  Instead, the entity goes for the best quality at whatever price.  In such a situation, it can be described as "sparing no expense" because it can spend as possible as is needed to ensure that the quality of the construction was of the highest standard.  A wealthy man does not spare any expense to receive medical treatment.  Vacationists spare no expense to go on vacation

These purchases or items come with high prices and they last longer than a year.

On the other hand, one does not want to spend much resources on goods that are not durable.  So, the person involved tend to spend as little as possible.  No one wants to buy expensive food items.  But, the same person can pay for an exorbitant car.  No one wants to expend much resources on inner wears, but the same person can spend thousand for the outer wears, to put up appearances.

Ostentatious goods that convey image attract higher prices much more than private goods that others co not care whether you use them or not.  This accords with our human natural way of believing in appearances.
