Não olhar a despesas

Explanation:
O contexto é importante...

https://www.expressions-francaises.fr/expressions-m/889-mett...

https://www.expressio.fr/expressions/mettre-les-petits-plats...

Mettre les petits plats dans les grands signifie qu’on est disposé à tout mettre en oeuvre pour plaire et qu’on ne lésine pas sur les moyens pour y parvenir. On ne l’utilise pas nécessairement dans un contexte culinaire.
Par exemple: “Avec la sortie de sa nouvelle console de jeux, Nintendo met les petits plats dans les grands.”
