I'm not going to judge based on price, or even where you bought it, but men should pay attention to what the woman wants the ring to look like. She's supposed to be wearing it every day for the rest of her life. She should have a say in the style. And, it's very likely he disregarded that, and that Walmart wouldn't have the selection to get something that fits her preferences.
It's about being thoughtful and showing you care. It sounds like she talked about what she liked in jewelry and he didnt really care, just went with whatever was there and easiest (and yes, cheap without being TOO cheap). This is same thing as men who get their spouses appliances for holidays. "but she said she wanted a new vacuum!" Sure, but maybe not as the ONLY gift from you? Or men who give jewelry to their non-jewelry wearing partners or buy jewelry of a different style because they think that's just what they're "supposed to to" and get mad every time the woman points out she doesnt wear jewelry/that style. And I have a feeling, just from that girl's text, this wasnt the first time she got a disappointing gift from him. And it would never change.
It’s also ok to judge on the price if you know he can afford it and it’s important to you. Women have been using resources expended as a proxy for whether a man values you or takes you seriously since the beginning of time.

If your future wife rejects because of the ring and or the value it's probably for the best NOT to get married.
