maybe you can just hang onto the cash and upgrade the things you buy for cash now a bit.  buy the better cut of meat, the nicer pair of shoes, etc. since you have no trouble with bending the truth a bit.. if challenged, the shoes were "on sale". and no you must have lost the receipt.  not that i'm advocating it, but the only time i notice my better half's shoe habit is when a garbage bag of the old ones goes out the door.
