　　Mrs. Average regularly overspends her weekly budget－but will not shop around to find bargains. And she hates shopping for food and would rather leave her husband at home than drag him along to carry the bags, according to a survey.

　　Two hundred and fifty women were questioned. Three-quarters admitted that they overspent their weekly shopping budget, yet seventy-eight percent said that they did not shop around to find lower prices. Eighty-eight percent of women disliked shopping for groceries, and Christmas shopping did not seem much higher, with only a quarter enjoying it.
