This guy beats me.

I've felt like that once or twice, but I never acted on it.  

My wife is an expert at reading me, so we're usually back home before I can complain. :)
 

I've had a girlfriend or two that were illiterate in that sense.    

That will soon make it to an episode of CSI.
 
(How much do you want to bet she still went into that shop for the shoes?)

I'm not so sure--now she has to carry all the packages herself.  

I Am blessed in that my wife cares less about shopping than I do.

let's face it, we all hate shopping...except when it involves music...so we'll spend half-an-hour combing through every single CD/LP in the charity shop 'just in case'...spend hours demoing 10 ostensibly identical guitars...and peruse pages of internet reviewery about that obscure plug-in you think might be the missing link in your next recording (except Bapu who just buys it, of course)

That's me.

Indeed. But I equate that with planning.
 
You know, the old comparison between hunters and gatherers? That definitely works for me, and I'm definitely the hunter type. I evaluate in advance, extensively so, then go for one "prey" - maybe have an alternative or two. 
 
But I'm focused and I just don't walk into a Guitar Center to maybe buy something. Which is the opposite of my wife, who is more of a gatherer, and can spend hours shopping without focusing on any particular "target", and pick dozens of little items from here and there.
