Spike offered to watch Owlowiscious for free for Twilight, though he pretty much hinted that he wanted a gem, so its possible he would have done the same for Rarity.

However, she couldn't very well not pay, after Rainbow Dash told her that Spike would really like a gem, because being generous as she is, she wouldn't want to disappoint him. It was short notice though, so she grabbed the closest gem.

As for Sweetie Belle, she loves to help Rarity with things anyway. Rarity was just trying to make her sister happy by generously giving her a big camping responsibility ;)

Lastly, Rarity was generous enough to donate all her episodes this season, to other ponies in need... I'm looking at you Applejack.
