shopper:
(plural: ‘shoppers‘; for the right pronunciation of this word, please click here)
a person who buys things from a (retail) shop,
e.g.
A smart shopper is not the one who buys lots of things at high prices but the one who knows where to buy quality things at reasonable prices.
These days there more online shoppers than there are in the malls as buying online has become more efficient and cheaper, saving one’s time and money going to the shops, standing in lines, etc.
Shop-keepers have several tricks up their sleeves to lure shoppers into buying junk at high prices with their ‘on sale’, ‘coupon’ and ‘special scheme’ strategies, especially during festival season, and the gullible shoppers fall in their traps and lose a lot of money on worthless items.
