Your type

Count your letters.

Whichever letter you chose most is your type. If it's a tie, pick the one that sounds more like you.

The Avoider Mostly A's

You'd rather skip the store than stroll through it. Window shopping is about as far as you'll go.

The Researcher Mostly B's

You like to browse and compare before you buy. Most days, you're a reasonable spender.

The Bargain Hunter Mostly C's

A good deal makes your day. You're thrifty — or frugal — not cheap or stingy.

The One-Shop Loyalist Mostly D's

You found your place, and you stick with it. You don't need to shop around.

The Big Spender If this sounds more like you

You don't mind a splurge. People may call you generous — you're no cheapskate.

Talk it over

A few questions.

  1. 1Which type sounds most like you? Did the result surprise you?
  2. 2What's the last thing you bought, and how did you decide?
  3. 3What's the worst part of shopping for you?
  4. 4Do you shop the same way for everyday things and for bigger purchases?
  5. 5How would you describe your spouse or family members as shoppers?
