I'm not trying to be cheap - I'm trying to keep my wife off my butt so I can avoid the "Do you really need that?" or "You spent how much on that?"

Don't get me wrong.... I totally understand finances, and especially when it comes to having to justify it with a partner :)
To find something funky to do the job that you want, you are more likely to find it if looking for something not marketed for that specific purpose, which is equally as good, if not better, and cheaper!

I think you could do better. Here in Oz we have Officeworks, which if I go to school supplies/pencil cases, I get this
Officeworks | Pencil Cases
I'm guessing you have something like that where you are?

I can see this. But the next time she buys a pair of shoes or something she does not really need you have to tell her "Do you really need those shoes?" And "Wow you spent way too much on those shoes". It works both ways.

Yeah, in a completely just and politically correct world...

Hang on, we're talking about women here aren't we??? There's nothing "just" or "politically correct" about their world -"their way or the highway"!!! Brave (or foolish) man that forgets it!

A coupon code?????????

Gimme a break!!!!!!!!!!!

It's 12 freakin' dollars.

Or get the one you already found for $5.

Or, are you just merely spamming the forum with links to a site that you have an interest in? If so, you won't have much time left to do so here!
