Husband and wife are shopping in Tesco's when the man picks up a crate
of Stella and sticks it into the trolley.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife.
'They're on offer, only £10 for 12 cans', he says.
'Put them back. We can't afford it,' says the wife and they carry on shopping...

A few aisles later the woman picks up a £20 jar of face cream and sticks it into the trolley.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the man,
'It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' she says.

The man replies... 'SO DOES 12 CANS OF STELLA AND IT'S HALF THE PRICE'
