I've got some experience here. :D

Believe me, you can get lucky anytime, but for tobacco you've gotta strike while the iron is hot.

Be nice, but effectively heap tons of guilt on her for her profligate spending. Wait and watch for a weak moment, then BLAM! Pull the trigger on a $100 online order. Justify it by noting that while she burned gas getting to and from the mall, and paid sales tax on the shoes, you avoided paying taxes, delivery charges, and gas!

A life's lesson...You can get too old to get lucky...Get it while you can.You never get too old for tobacco.No reason not to go for both though.

Too bad you guys can't go together for the shoes/tobacco. My wife has bought me some really nice pipe stuff: Dunhill lighter, pipe case, along with several really nice pipes. On the other hand, I've enjoyed buying my wife most of her electronic gadgets, along with...yes..shoes. Maybe you guys should go shopping together more often...just a thought.

Cortez, you are officially my hero.
On another note, the girlfriend recently got a massive bonus from work. She made me a deal; she made a list of all the stuff she wanted to buy. She went out and bought everything on the list and if there was any money leftover, I could spend the remainder on whatever I wanted and she wouldn't chastise me for it. She came home from her shopping trip with $70, and we both just got paid today. Guess who's getting a new pipe tool and a whole mess of baccy?! :mrgreen:
