I know here that an allowance is mandatory once fc are of a certain age...6 maybe? And you are NOT allowed to deduct from it for any reason at all.
I think if a child wants a pair of $60 jeans, then absolutely they should save their allowance. Or other items that would be normally out of budget range for. Tampons, no.
That being said, I don't believe in allowances, period. None of my bios have ever had it. Tried it once, at my husband's insistance, and it turned into, "Do I get paid for this?" every time we asked a kid to help out with anything. End of allowance.
Dunno how we'll manage that one...but we've got a while before figuring it out
