That woman definitely has a big problem. Her husband is no help; could be he is one of those quiet men who find it easier to go along than fight it. I was acquiring quite a bit of fabric (love colors), but fortunately I have two granddaughters who are learning to quilt so the stash is starting to disappear, although slowly. Years ago a friend and I had a buying problem; we started taking only so much cash, but we put everything we thought we needed in the basket and when it came time to leave the store, we had to put back everything we couldn't pay for. Kind of had the psychological feel of shopping. Took us about 6 months, but we did overcome the shopping obsession and never went back. I say that woman needs professional help.
