I rarely buy anything for myself, it's almost all kid/house stuff anyway. He does the same. For bigger purchases, we discuss it and I usually do a ton of research to find the best deal.

This is my family. I work, hubby is a SAHD. I buy what I want, but it's usually something educational for the kids anyway.

I spend way too much $ on organic groceries, but we never go out to eat. Grocery shopping gives me my shopping fix.
