I've fitted mine with a pair of blinkers, so she can only see straight ahead!! :lol:

She is under strict instructions to get the essential groceries first - like milk, bread, meat and veg etc.

I tell her after we've got all the essential stuff, and taken it to the car, we can come back, have a wander round and browse at leisure. Though funnily enough we rarely seem to have enough time to do that. Or we just forget! :D

If she really wants to browse, I leave her to it and go off and have a coffee, often with the money! :D

Well with having to handle the budget herself, she feels like she is spending her own money and that has stopped jut about all the impulse items. If she really wants to play looky Lou, then she has o leae me out of the mix I absolutely hate that.

It amazes me how much more frugal they are when it's thier money :wink:
