Personal comments:
Nothing much actually, it's just issues with cultural differences in term of who pay for what. Men takes care of all stuffs in my country should there be a date or outing. This seems a bit different here but nothing too serious. Cost-saving tips: Try home cooking twice a week, visit fruit markets for large shopping.
