People making purchases going after awful rags, or little green jumpers? (12)
I believe the answer is:
grasshoppers
'jumpers?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'people making purchases going after awful rags or little green' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'people' could be 'shoppers' (shopper is a kind of person) and 'shoppers' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'rags' is 'gras' which is within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for grasshoppers that I've seen is " jumpers".)
