Interesting. Most vanilla relationships don't do the whole allowance thing (which is different from a family budget) so I'm going to advise you to speak to some of your Dom friends for some ideas. I suspect they will recommend that you and she speak and determine why she overspent. If she was acting out intentionally, I'm sure they'll have fun ideas for the both of you to choose among. If she had a good reason, I expect they'll recommend that you and she renegotiate the allowance agreement to cover situations like whatever came up.
On the other hand, if you actually refer to a family budget, you should discuss the expense plan and recalculate together.

Sad but true money is a very big part of any marriage. If you guys have an established budget, and either of you break it there has to be consequences or it will continue to happen and can get out of control before you know it. You should know your wife better than anyone so take a minute and think you can get it through to her how important a budget is.

I got an allowance as a teenager, I couldn't imagine getting an allowance as an adult. It sounds demeaning so I am assuming this is a stay at home mom, with infant(s).
He should assess where she is spending her money- on groceries, pampers, milk, etc. or simply wasting it on frivilous items. If it is determined that she is spending money frivilously, she should figure out how to make money on her own- even if she decides to began charging her husband an hourly rate for what she does around the house (as he gets from working). I prefer to earn my money and not have it handed to me. When my husband wanted me to stop working after learning we were having a baby, I suggested that he pay me to keep the house clean. He didn't want to do it so I kept working. My earning potential is tied into my independence.

How about a little something called separate bank accounts! You can go one step further and file separate income tax forms as well, especially if she has a penchant for debt.

Give her a bigger allowance..lol :)
Seriously though...I think it depends on what she spends it on. Is it stuff for the family or the home?
Also is her overspending affecting the financial stability of the home?
I think more details are needed.

I wasn't aware that adults got allowances. I thought that was only for kids. Adults do something called budgeting.

Allowance? to an Adult? I think I am confused.

Make her get a job. Give her only cash so when she's out, she's out and can't go over.

Tell her that she's no longer getting an allowance and she'll have to get a job. That'll show her. (sly grin)
