How do you say the story that mother-in-law dislikes daughter-in-law spending money?

Mother-in-law doesn't like her daughter-in-law to spend money. There are many classic stories. The following is one of them:

There is a mother-in-law who is very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's consumption habits. She thinks her daughter-in-law is a waste of money. One day, my mother-in-law decided to have a good talk with her daughter-in-law. She said to her daughter-in-law, "I heard that you don't look at the price every time you buy something, and it will cost a lot of money!" " The daughter-in-law smiled and replied, "Mom, actually every time I shop, I have a three-stage decision-making process. The first stage is' look'. I will see if I have this demand and really need to buy it. The second stage is' thinking'. I will seriously think about the practicality and cost performance of this product, and whether it is worth the money. The third stage is "action". If I feel it is worth buying after going through the first two stages, I will pay. So, mom, although I don't look at the price, it doesn't mean I don't know how to save! "

This joke conveys a positive message through the daughter-in-law's witty counterattack: people should make rational decisions when shopping, pay attention to the practicality and cost performance of goods, rather than blindly pursuing low-priced or high-priced goods. This story provides us with the enlightenment of rational consumption view. Of course, jokes are just humorous stories, and the specific situation still depends on the actual situation of individuals and family cultural background. It is important to understand and respect each other's consumption concepts.
