I recently got married, and today my wife comes home with a bunch of shite. "it was on sale" she says.

This just happened today for the first time, so I feel like i can nip it in the bud here.

Tell me, ot... How did y'all curb this? I don't want the inside of my house to look like a bed bath and beyond, thanks

So, go ahead and file those divorce papers.

No other way.

This part I don't mind. If I had to do the decorating the house would look like shite.

Dude, a lot of people here think it's ok to beat your wife. Do you really want to get marriage advice from even half the people on this board?

It can't be curbed. Welcome to your life.

I usually just bitch a lot when something like that happens.

That's enough to curb it to only about twice a year.

ETA: We're about to buy a house, so I'm sure it'll increase exponentially (due to the increase in size).

ETA2: I also doubt my bitching even has an effect on the situation.

It actually can be curbed. Cut off her access to any money you earn. Allow her to spend only the money she earns, after half of the bills are paid from what she earns.

This does come with problems though. It will get drier than the Sahara, she will get two credit cards you don't know about and grow the balances about $1K a month, and she will occasionally come home a little bruised when Tyrone got too excited.

The good thing is that she probably won't file for divorce for 6-8 months though.

Understand that she sees marriage as adding an income for the spending habits she wants to attain. She, as a shopper, has gone pro.
