I love to shop, and while I haven't been shopping as often as I used to, I still splurge on less frivolous items that I'll wear often, like a pair of jeans or a coat. When I walk through the door after every shopping trip, Drew asks me what I spent. I usually tell him the truth because I'm good at hunting for bargains, but sometimes I have to embellish my purchases or alter the prices so he won't get annoyed. For example, last week I bought a pair of boots I had been lusting after for weeks. I was shopping around for the best price, and I couldn't find them for less than $300, so I sucked it up and bought them, knowing I'd wear them for years. Instead of telling Drew I only bought boots, I said I got two pairs of shoes—it sounded a little better that way. I know he's completely caught on to my tricks, but I do it whenever I feel a little guilty about spending too much on one item.
I was talking to my girlfriend about this last night, and she told me she does this all the time, but her husband gets annoyed with her when he finds out that she lied. He said it's wrong to be dishonest about their finances. She still does it all the time—she said she just needs to be a little sneaky about it!
Have you ever misled your guy about what you bought on a recent shopping trip? What white lie did you tell, and do you think he'd get mad if he found out?
