I had a friend tell me she was gonna get a Monster while we were standing in like at Wal-Mart once. I decided to randomly tell her no, she can't have one. She plays along and says "you never let me have anything!" Some lady who was standing behind us hands her 5 dollars and tells her she can have whatever she wants and gives me the dirtiest look. Lol.
Yeah. "Hey Hun, I really want this thing but I understand if I can't right now..." She handles the budgets so I just generally confirm if frivolous spending fits the budget. Rarely is a no. Sometimes is a "wait". If she thinks it's really a waste or big purchase she tells me to think about it a little bit then let her know if she should fit it into the budget.
Married happily 15 years. It's a system that works for us.

If my wife did this I’d dead ass just be like, “No absolutely not” and continue on with my own order.
