If a friend suggests going to a pricey restaurant, and you want to save your money, and say so, then you can go to a cheaper restaurant, and be happy together.

But if you give an excuse, and beg off, then you both will be eating alone.

If a largish group is set on going to the fancy restaurant, it may be more tactful to say that you have other plans, but then it may not, if they are close friends.

There are tactful ways of bringing up money without saying "money." You can say, "I was really in the mood for something more casual," and everybody knows you mean money.
