One of our big expenses this year is we want new wedding rings for our anniversary (dh is allergic to his, and mine was lost a few years back). Anyway, we're looking around, and the platinum is QUITE expensive. Of course I'll be looking for a cheaper way than through a jeweler, but it was nice having someone hover over us offering drinks and answering all our questions. And the kids were perfect little gentlemen while they waited for us to look.
Anyway, when dh mentioned that the platinum was a bit more than we were hoping to spend, the lady said, "No worries. We have a special on financing, no payments for six months." We just smiled. And explained that we pay for everything in cash. It was a proud moment. :)
I do feel bad using their expertise and taking their time when I don't plan to buy there, but really they are way overpriced. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra commission or a fee for the extra service, but jewelers (in general) are just so exhorbitant.
Anyway, we learned a lot and it was fun. And it's such a great feeling to say, "Thank you, but we pay for everything with cash."

All my best,
