Simplicity is hard. Let’s go shopping
I tend to use the "inversion" argument, but mostly with vacations and not physical stuff:"We should go to Barbados for a week. It's only $1000.""If someone offered to give you $1000, plus an extra week to accomplish stuff you want to do, wouldn't you take it?"This works with appliances, too: not buying that juicer means getting a few square feet of counterspace and $100.
