A Woman's Spending from Household Expenses Without Her Husband's Knowledge

Question
If a woman saves from the household expenses without her husband's knowledge, and buys necessities for the house, the children, or herself, and tells her husband that it is from her family, what is the ruling on this behavior?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She must be honest with her husband regarding household expenses and that these needs were part of the budget, and God knows best.
