I think the OP was just funnin' -
I think it is prudent to shop wisely - no matter what is being purchased - and I think it also good for both people in a relationship to know how much money is available and what needs have to be paid for - before indulging in 'extras'
Some people are struggling for the bare essentials - if they even have them. In those cases, I don't think it's right or fair for either person to 'indulge' - especially without the knowledge and consent of the other person.
As far as that goes, I don't think it's right for one person to 'indulge' on another person's dime without that person's knowledge and consent.
