Simply, if it was something for you and your partner or for the household, you’d put back £15.

If it was for you personally, you’d put back £30.

Erm why would you put back anything if you’d bought something joint, from the joint account🤔
Unless of course that purchase might push the account towards being overdrawn, in which case, I agree OP should put back £15, but so should her husband. 

I based it on the basis that the account was used exclusively for bills, in which case it might be budgeted accurately and could push the account overdrawn as suggested.

Oh, it was the way the sentence was constructed. 
So, if the £30 purchase were to buy something for the household as a concept or for something for both the OP and their partner (so something benefitting each equally) then each of the couple would put £15 into the account if it would otherwise go overdrawn.

But that didn't appear to be the case for the OP.

Liz Truss would replace the money with cheese no doubt. Or lettuce!
