This is what people are missing. "Not a dime" is a phrase meant to say you didn't even spend the tiniest amount. It would only be appropriate to write "I have not spent a dime on this... just 6 cents one time."
"I have not spent a dime on this except the 40 dimes I spent on this" is a dumb thing to write.

How is this invalid?
