Usually I wouldn't be to concerned about getting some flak but we started watching Breaking Bad and she took great interest on how they got rid of bodies on the show.
I bought something I shouldn't have. I got a Flea soprano off the Guitar Center used site. It was too good a deal to say no to. Normally not a big deal be we recently had a couple of unexpected major expenses come up. It arrived today and so far she hasn't noticed.

She even commented on how it'd be easier than a woodchipper, her prior preferential way of getting rid of evidence if I ended up pissing her off enough. Maybe I'll blame it on the kid; she's due to get in trouble for something anyway.
Good luck amigo. They always find out.
All joking aside...I've been married (to the same woman, no less) for 36 years so I feel qualified to offer a little advice. As long as neither of you has spending habits that are putting the family finances in real peril (buying stuff you don't really need when you can't afford groceries or the mortgage, for example) it is much better to just be up front about spending and the things that flip your wipper. There are many things that my wife buys that I will never understand why anyone would spend good money for that gunk. I'm sure she feels exactly the same way about many of the things I buy. The thing we both have come to realize is that it doesn't have to make "sense" to me if it's something that is going to bring her happiness and vice versa.
So, seriously, if you want a long happy marriage don't conceal purchases, work on the mutual understanding that things that bring joy to one of you should by definition bring joy to both, even if the mate doesn't fully understand the attraction.
Okay, off my soap box now.
