I use those too
I also do the bills so if we run low on money I just say that alot of bliis come due that I had to pay.
and sometimes I just right out lie about how much something costs:rolleye1:
I bought the 3rd julian sprung book. he didnt even ask how much it costs. and I'm an expert at peeling off price tags.
I think he believes me because he says things like "you always get better deals at the LFS, maybe its because your a woman"

Well, this is interesting, you seem to be getting more attention from "wifey" than you are from "hubby" with this thread.
I am not wifey myself yet, but I find the bf does interogate me sometimes about new items and what they cost. Since our finances are not connected at this point, I make my own good money and know how to spend it, I don't feel like I need to justify everything yet. When in doubt, I keep large items in the cabinet, what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Since he's not into aquariums, he doesn't notice half the time. I think I'd be more forthcoming if we shared household expenses.

LOL....
I often save my alloted spending money and pay cash. He has no idea where the money went. I don't know where his alloted spending money goes either (golf, lunch, etc)
