time for coffee,then lunchtime!!
 
Not really. I might not make a big deal about something I''ve bought and just quietly put it away, but I''m not purposefully trying to hide it.
 
Every November I start buying and hiding DH''s gifts so at least one will be a surprise for Christmas; does that count?
 
Yeah. Lingerie. I buy it, then I HIDE IT under my clothes.

No. We talk about our purchases ahead of time. If it''s out of my "spending money" then why would I hide it? I can spend it on whatever I want to.. as thats the point of it.
 
AHAHAHAHAHA
SHOES.

I will tuck them away for a few months... then when I wear them I''m being honest in saying "oh I''ve had these honey" lol I always end up confessing, b/c it''s not a huge deal... just that I have 5 bazillion pairs lol
 
I''m a harry potter NERD so sometimes if I come across Bertie Bott''s Jellybeans I might not tell dh. Why? Because I''ll never hear the end of it lol. Usually it comes out of my spare change if I get it anyhow. Big purchases we would never hide from each other.
 
Yes, they're called presents. I'm rarely successful because neither of us has much private space. I do occasionally run across presents when putting his socks away or something similar. I'm fairly sure he does the same. I wish we had more space for stuff like that, nothing ends up being a surprise.
 
eh, kinda. I'll buy a pair of shoes or jeans and then quietly bring the bag inside when he's not around to notice. The deal is I'll eventually wear whatever it was that I was hiding, so it's not like I truely have kept a secret from him.

Once I bought a pair of $170+ jeans and was paranoid he'd find out about the price. I took them in to be altered and ended up picking them up when he was with me. He didn't see the price tag, but made fun of me for buying "$500" jeans. I guess the moral of that is he already knows what I'm spending for most of my jeans so unless I don't wear them, it'd be impossible to hide them

No, I work everyday and my husband could give a S! less about my spending. It''s not like I''m spending the mortgage.. though I considrered it when I fell in love with a honker on JBEG!
 
we have a shared bank account. even if i tried to hide something, he would eventually figure it out.

kind of like he figured out my taco bell lunch habit i got into at the end of last year (which has since been stopped since i am trying to lose weight).

my hubby really holds me accountable when i say i''m dieting...which is what i need and what i''ve asked him to do...i hid a container of ice cream from him last year...i put it in the very back of the freezer.

(i feel better now that i''ve admitted that actually.)

Where do you find Bertie''s??? Another HP nerd who would love to try them!


No, I don''t hide purchases from DH. Even at Christmas we designate how much we''re spending so even if I hide the gift itself, he still knows how much it cost.

I hide food from my DH. It's things like chocolate, which if he sees, he'll eat all of it at once. I like to buy a bit of it and take a few bites here and there. . .

Also, I bought a 2-liter bottle of Diet Coke that's hidden next to my baking pans, partly because DH will drink it all and partly because I don't want my kids finding it and bugging me about having some (I always say no, yet they always ask again!)

Oh, and there was that 2-carat diamond, too. Can only wear that at home by myself because what if one of my friends sees it and mentions it in front of my husband?

I tell small fibs. Like if I have a few packages coming and he starts taking notice I will say "Oh this one was a free gift for buying that one." I don''t know why I care, its my money. We have our joint account and our seperate accounts so I can buy whatever I want. He just gives me this look that screams "We are supposed to be saving money."

Dh and I are the same about Christmas. We have a set budget and my husband told me how much he spent this year so there wouldn''t be an surprises. I even told him what I was getting him beforehand to be sure that it was okay with him (a blue ray player).

Radiant - You need to find a way to get your husband to start obsessing over the products you like. I feared my husband would find that the Philosophy body washes I buy are $16 each, however, one day he tried one and now he's addicted too and hasn't complained once about how over priced they are.

He even buys them for me. Yes, he even ventures into Sephora when new scents come out.
 
Unfortunately, my newest B. Makowsky purse has been hiding in the closet since November. My husband bought me a new Michael Kors handbag in August for my b-day, but because it was on backorder, I didn''t get it until late September. I don''t want to hurt his feelings by using a different handbag so soon after getting the one he bought me as a gift. However, now it''s been 2 more months, and I think that I may just tell him that I got this one on clearance at TJ Maxx and it was an impulse purchase ...
 
No.

Sometimes they sell them at Borders or Barnes and Noble.

There''s also a website you can go to :) I got one of my bridesmaids her wedding gift from here as well a collection of candy that included a bag of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, package of Droobles Best Blowing Gum, package of Blood Pops, Pop Rocks Magic Potion, Pet Tarantulas ,Chocolate Frog and a Gummi Candy Pet Rat. I also got her a wand, she''s a big fan as well :)

No way.
 
I made that mistake early on, never again. I always discuss what I am planning on buying big or small. If I want something big, like a handbag, I still tell him even if I am paying for it. I do that out of respect.

Now Husband, on the other hand doesn''t buy much, but he sure pays for those golfing trips. Is that hiding it?? Does he show me what they cost?? If I asked, he surely would. But am thinking, I don''t want to know, as it''s a boat load, just glad I am not footing those bills!!!

When I was married I would hide food all the time because he was the food police with me. Not really junk food so much. Even healthy stuff like Amy''s frozen meals. If I ate anything the had one morsel of fat or was in the slightest unhealthy he would be SO judemental. I knew it was a huge huge problem when my daughter (without me realizing it) based on her seeing how he would treat me when he saw me eating something he did not approve of, said to me when I took her out for icecream after dance "Lets not tell daddy because he will get mad you ate that". Ahhh, never again.

I will never allow that to happen again.
 
Other than gifts for him, I think this is so rude - if you have to hide it, then it means you either don''t have the money for it, or you know he would rather you spend it on something else. We don''t hide stuff like this from each other at all.

Wow. I''ve never thought about that effecting my future children. Granted, my husband doesn''t give me a hard time unless I''ve asked him to help keep me accountable, but I would never want it to be misinterpreted as him controlling what I eat. Thank you for sharing that, bc I will keep that in mind so it doesn''t become an issue.
 
I think only gifts/surprises... I feel like I''m sure I''ve hidden things that I''ve bought but they were all funny prank items. Haahahaha.
 
Gifts, of course.



We often get each other little things for no reason, and sometimes I'll hide them until I want to give them to him and forget - and we'll find five packs of twizzlers stashed between two textbooks a few months later

We don't tell each other every last thing we buy, esp. if it's under $10 or 20...If it comes up, sure, but I'll buy a book or something and get it and just put it away, and then he'll say "where did that come from?"
 
Once in a while, usually clothes or shoes I purchase online. If he notices the millionth black boot that I have on, I might pretend that I''ve had them forever, sometimes I confess. My DH likes to remind me that I have tons of clothes and shoes and the money I spend might be put to better use...which is all true!

I don't necessarily *try* to hide things... I just make a point not to have certain items lying around to be discovered *cough*newpadparadschasapphire*cough*

ETA: I'm sort of kidding. I don't hide purchases from my husband, but sometimes he thinks my jewelry habit is out of control, so if it saves a 10 minute argument, that's my marriage and my business. When he sees me wearing something new he always compliments me.
 
Only presents. I feel no need to hide what I buy from him.
