Even though we have separate accounts...we always let the other know if we are making purchases over say $300 and discuss it(as a courtesy to one another and also to make sure we aren't derailing from goals we are trying to reach).

Those accounts are purely spending money for each us. We keep vacation money, home improvement, our kid's expenses, etc in a joint account. We tell each other if we are taking much money out of those for something.
