leave him in charge of getting things done around the house for a week or two and see if he doesn't have to spend money to get things done.

Do you help drag the bacon home or do you just cook it? Maybe he's feeling overwhelmed that his paycheck doesn't cover everything you need. If you're high maintenance, please try to cut back. If it's just stuff for the house and the family, make a list and go over it together so you can defend what you're going to buy before the money is spent. And show him the receipts for awhile. He may be out of touch with how expensive things are.
Example: I was with my daughter last week when she bought two dozen donuts and a box of holes. The bill was $18.11 ....I nearly had to have CPR!!!

What type of items are you buying that are important to the family. That is a statement I don't understand. As well as the "the stuff he buys is expired and useless". I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Go shopping with him. Let him do the buying. You just make him do it all now. This way he cannot call you a big spender anymore. This is the best solution i can think of to this problem.

If you're talking groceries just get the generic brands and if he starts up say right to his face, I dare you to find it at a less expensive price it's the generic brand! Better yet find something he LOVES and get the most nasty, cheep version ever and when he complains just look innocent and say 'but honey, i'm trying to be a little spender now' Good luck

Lie to him regarding what things actually cost, tell him that you get fabulous deals and take price tags off the more expensive items. Avoid designer crap of any kind and make sure you do get things that serve your family needs.
Get him things he wants rather then needs from time to time, so he won't feel left out.

Tell him if he thinks you spend too much when you go to the store, let him do the shopping. Let him see how much things really cost.

Just cut back. Most of marriages end in divorce because of money problems., not because of cheating. Did you know that?

Take him shopping with you and when you want to make a purchase ask what he would do, if it makes sense go for it, if not aruge your case.
