Enen though i love shopping but i won't consider myself to "shopaholic". Usualy ,before i plan to go shopping,i will make a shopping list and then think twice to make sure that i really need it or i just want to have it.I also set my shopping budget in order to avoid from over spend.Well it works for me.

well,i will buy a lot of useless things when i go shopping.so my way is to take less money out,and never bring my credit card to the supermarket.i always calculated the price of the necessary things i want to buy,and make a list of them,it will save a lot of time for me,and also a lot of money.lol,i do that day by day,and a month later,i can buy things i want use the saved money.

it's very difficult to change a habit. does he spend his own money only? what does he spend on? is it useful at least?
perhaps you could interest him in saving for something that you both want. for instance, a car or TV? do you both have children? if so you could emphasise the importance of saving for your children's future.
all the best, it won't be easy but don't give up!
