    It's funny actually I always ask my wife about buying things and she says 'why are you asking, me it's your money' but I still ask.
    Nothing to see here, move along.

    I never tell lies / hide spending from my partner - doesn't seem like a great basis to build a relationship on! :)

    Remember the MoneySaving mantras!

    IF YOU'RE SKINT......
    Do I need it? Can I afford it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    IF YOU'RE NOT SKINT......
    Will I use it? Is it worth it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    I used to be an A. Now I'm a C - with some additional gusto as I'm well into the swing of bargain-hunting!

    There is no option like "exaturate the actual price", which I tend to do, when I tell my boyfriend how much I spent.
    I don't know why...
