Seriously? This is a battle you will never win. Suck it up and let her buy what she needs. If you buy Argos she will either resent it for years or you will end up replacing it in short order. Imagine if you had settled on, say, a Jag and she went out and bought a Sandero for you instead. Or would this delight you?
The problem then is how to buy the furniture at the best price. There are outlets (Trade Secrets near Banbury for one) that specialise in high quality “as new” returned furniture goods from M&S, JLP etc. Or even charity furniture shops or local websites for second hand furniture . It’s surprising how much stuff people now change on a whim and then sell the old stuff cheap.
If you do need to buy at what you see is a high price it’ll still be cheaper than a divorce.
