Ok, your first problem is that you married a woman who can count. Just kidding, sort of. But I feel your pain as I had the same problem. Please see my earlier poem. My wife can also count and was starting to get a little concerned about the number of boxes that arrived to the house. Here is how I handled the problem.
I have a son who needed a part time job to raise a few dollars and he was starting to follow my interest in shoes. I set him up to flip some used shoes on EBay. Shoes arrive for him and he brings them into the house from other sources. He sells shoes and boxes also go out every day. Boxes of shoes arriving and departing became "normal" and no one notices "normal." Now when I buy a shoe they arrive just like all of the other ones for his business and the wife takes no notice at all. The ones I don't keep I give to him to sell as well and he makes some extra money.
I blush at my genius.

Side question, how the hell do you married guys do this???
