Hi Desler & All,
Further, there is a train of thought that has gained a significant following in the fraternity that it is best that spouses etc should remain ignorant (and be purposely kept in the dark) of the pricing of astronomical equipment, eyepieces etc.
Taking them into the shop and letting them see price-tags etc, only allows them to gain knowledge that could in the end be turned your disadvantage ...
Best,
Les D
