They're getting married, but before they do, Joel Madden is determined to teach his pregnant fiancee, Nicole Richie, how to be thrifty!



According to an insider, Nicole was planning to order a one of a kind custom made Chrome Hearts crib, but Joel, 28, nearly fainted over the $65,000 price tag and persuaded her to buy a $300 crib from Target. The Good Charolette rocker even helped Nicole, 26, rent out her vacant West Hollywood condo for more than $7,000 a month instead of letting it sit empty.
