Does anyone else use the "It was half price honey and I thought if I don't get it now..." or "The shop was having a sale and I thought ...." to your loved ones ...and then destroy or hastily hide the reciepts?

More than I'd like to admit!

I am single and have no one to answer to so I don't have to make excuses. If I did tho I would.

That is more common for women. You never get a straight answer when you ask how much something cost, you get the sale percentages first.

"It was 50% off the original price, and then another 15% off, and I had a $5 off coupon, and the sales lady made a mistake and gave me $10 off, and it was my birthday this month so they gave me another 5% off."

"So how much was it?"

"I just told you"

Thats why we have separate frivolous spending accounts. As long as it comes out of that account, no worries.

It's kind of "Don't Ask. Don't Tell" around these parts.

Yes, of course, it's what keeps marriage's alive.
It's not the ability to tell a good lie but the ability to believe a bad one.

It started like this...

[bobbait]

My husband never asks how much I spend on stuff, because he knows I'd get on his case about his videogame habit, which takes up WAY more than my shopping. However, when I get a good deal, I make sure to tell him.

I love it.I am to scared to use that one on my wife,for fear I would trip up somewhere down the line and she might cut off my allowance.So I tell her straight up and take the stares and pulsing temples.If there really is a sale I show her and then she says okay you may as well you know you want to.
I appeal to her inner desire to purchase everything at a discount.Good luck though.
