More less the same as trying to hang wallpaper as a couple

OP, you would do well to listen to the majority of replies here.

My suggestion?

Agree upon a NTE dollar amount, out the door.

Turn your wife loose just a bit. Empower her to do her own shopping. Buy her bunches of bullets. And butt the hell out.

Coming from a guy who tried what you're doing ONCE...just like the time we tried wallpapering together. Swmbo cleans my clock in skeet with a Winchester .410 slide. Gets a meat deer a year with slug (never needed more than one) out of a Beretta Silver Pigeon.

Your wife will surprise you.
