Shopping tension

Singles' Day on November 11, which has been increasingly touted as a shopping day by clever online stores, can be both fun for shopaholic wives and a headache for broke husbands. A man surnamed Zhang in Jilin province confiscated all his wife's bank cards as a preemptive measure against her shopping spree. His wife bought three boxes of facial masks in the past, none of which have been used, said Zhang. (www.china.com.cn)
