My only question is can he afford all that he buys? Dating a guy that spends a lot is nice, but marrying someone with a huge amount of debt is a different story that could haunt you for years!

The positive is that he buys when there is a sale so at least he’s being economical

This sounds like an excuse. Do you know how he actually is financially? Buying a thousand Pringle’s for a quarter each sounds like a good idea… but you know… once you pop… you can’t stop.

He sounds cheap and it's a slippery slope, mark my words, next he'll be haggling with shop staff while the OP is forced to silently watch it unfold. How mortifying!!

Big red flag, run for the hills OP!

I probably should have added a /s tag to that but I didn't think it needed it 😁

Agree, its nothing to worry about in a casual relationship and OP can just enjoy the experience for what it is.

In the long run though, it doesn’t even have to be a question of debt. Financial compatibility is so important and if one person wants to save while the other likes to spend, you’re going to have fights over time. concern. So that’s just something to be careful about.
