A person who exits their car at the grocery store and takes an overly cautiously arcing route through the parking lot in order to avoid COVID infected fellow shoppers only to realize, upon reaching the entrance, that their mask is still hanging from their rear view mirror.
Don't worry kids. Daddy will be back in two minutes to get his mask. He's an habitual boomerang shopper.

Eryn is such an elongated shopper, it's hard for her go to the department store and grocery store in under 3 hours.

Someone who is too broke to afford objects at regular prices. So they wait until it’s on clearance to buy.
“I got these shoes because they were on clearance.”
“Man I swear you only buy things on clearance, your a clearance shopper.

A friend who follows you around whilst shopping, potentially because they have no sense of personal style or space. Highly annoying. When you ask their opinion they will often say what they think you want to hear, rather than their genuine belief, lest it be 'wrong'.

Overheard on the train:
Guy: I only ever buy 'Australian' Oranges and always check cookies packaging.
Girl: Wow, I'm never that careful, there are so many traps.
Guy: Yeah, I'm a "Militant Shopper" like that.

Refers to members of the less-affluent sector of mall-customers who merely wish to purchase regular groceries and/or household products in bulk, but who do not buy enough yearly volume to justify paying the exorbitant "membership fee" that the "big box" stores like Sam's Club charge. These limited-income folks therefore discreetly approach "enrolled" club-members who have either just arrived at the store or are currently pushing their carts around the aisles, and quietly ask them if they could please also purchase the merchandise that the indigent people want along with the items on their own shopping lists, and then afterwards they all meet back up outside in the parking lot where there are no prying eyes from the store's staff, and the grateful low-income families carefully go over the obliging club-members' store-receipts to total up the costs of the "additionally-purchased" items, and then reimburse the members for the appropriate amounts in cash.
Being a secret shopper can indeed be a great way to save on household-staple items; just watch out for Sam's Club chiselers, however.
