How to share purchases with family but not payment methods`

I was wondering how to share purchases amongst our family, but NOT share payment methods (ie each person has their own payment method)? Is this even possible? If not, what is a work-around to this problem?

Family members can redeem iTunes Gift Cards to their accounts that will be charged before the organizers method of payment.


Purchase sharing requires the organizer to be the only credit card available for purchases.
