I'm happy to say I have never had to sneak anything in. DH will carry it in for me. At times he will shake his head and ask if I really NEED another quilt book or whatever, but he never complains. Of course I don't complain when he gets another tool or whatever he enjoys. We have an agreement that if something costs less than $100 its fair game, if over that we at least mention it to the other. Oh and we don't touch the grocery $$. grin
