shopaholics
Mall's best customers
Shopaholics is the plural of shopaholic—a person with a compulsive urge to shop, often spending beyond their means or buying things they don't need.
The word blends shopping with alcoholic, suggesting addiction: The mall was packed with shopaholics on Black Friday.
The term is usually lighthearted rather than clinical.
