This a thousand times. The number of times my spouse has said "hey, can I buy… oh wait. We've enough in the budget. Cool."

The nicest thing about YNAB (which is budgeting in general -- YNAB just did it in a way that I stuck with it) is that it gives me permission for guilt free purchases.

No need to think about it; the budget's right there, so I can spend it without second guessing myself.
