Thread: Ever hide Halloween buys from your significant other? Sneak'em into circulation?

I mean, when they tell you there's no budget for what you think are must have's...maybe you have to stash them 'till the right time to fess up. Of course I've never done that, what do y'all take me for??!

My husband recently told me to hold off on purchasing my wishlist when he saw in my eyes that I was contemplating making us all sandwiches from old crackers and using tree leaves for toilet paper in order to get that stuff from Big Lots.

OK, FINE. I will. For now...

I resemble that remark! Fortunately the alley-accessible garage is in such a state of chaos that it's relatively easy at the moment to sneak stuff in. They know darn well there are new items in there but can't quite pinpoint which ones. There will be a day of reckoning, I'm sure, but for now, I'm relatively safe.

Relatively.

well sometimes i hide my props from my parents. One time a had a field day at my local rite-aid purchasing severed arms, and masks, and spider webs, and when i got home i told my parents i didnt buy anything lol. happens all the time!

LMAO!! Nooooooooo... I NEVER EVER do that!! <<batting eyes>>

Well of COURSE everyone in here is innocent!

Hide? Well.....yeah. I also "lose" receipts or run them through the wash "accidentally". So who else skips lunch and uses the cash to buy haunt material and supplies?

How did you know? Have you been snooping in my trunk?? That's where I keep things hidden until he's gone and then bring them in the house.

ondeko - I save my lunch money too! An apple is enough of a lunch, right?

I usually show my husband what I buy, although I do have sudden memory loss if he asks how much something was.

I must confess...I do it all the time! And not just with Halloween, but everything!!!
When he finds/ notices it, I say (in my sweetest Southern accent) 'why, dahlin', I've had that...' And it's true- I have had it- just don't ever say how long I've had it.

And if you're really lucky, they notice it so long after its purchase that you can legitimately say it's been there for months....
