oh yes, another one...
Ebenezer Scrooge - Follows his browbeaten wife around taking things out of her basket as fast as she puts them in. He's not here to help her do the shopping, just to make sure she spends as little as possible. Never buys branded products if there's a store's own 'value' equivalent. Frivolous things like Jaffa cakes are forbidden. Receipts scrutinized with terrifying closeness in case a special offer has been missed off. Finally succumbs to a seizure brought on by apoplectic rage at milk going up by 2 pence per litre.
Two weeks after the funeral, wife appears in shop, unrecognizable due to new clothes, hairstyle, make up etc, beams as she unloads her basket of salmon, asparagus, champagne and so on and chats happily to you about the cruise she's planning.
