I shop through Amazon quite a bit. I often buy health foods and related items. I like online shopping. The best thing I bought recently…was probably, a couple of years ago I bought a cuisinart keurig. My quiz result was Traditional.
Oh, I am addicted to my keurig like no one’s business 😉 How else would all the quizzes get written?
1) Victoria’s secret, forever21
2) Clothes, cosmetics
3) I prefer to shop downtown.
4) VS “gorgeous” body mist
5)Your Shopping Stereotype is Economical …
That’s quite true 😀
Oooh, I’m unfamiliar with that body mist. I will have to check it out 🙂
What are your favorite stores to shop at?
Target..Old Navy .. BBW .. DSW
What do you like to shop for? Electronics & jewelry
Where do you prefer to shop? Online? At an indoor mall? An outdoor mall? Downtown? Outdoor mall
What’s the best thing you’ve bought in the past year or two? iPhone
Take What’s Your Shopping Stereotype? – What do you get? Is it accurate?
Balanced.
Unlike most people, you don’t really obsess over shopping. It’s a chore, just like any other.
You crave a simple, stress free experience when you go shopping. Convenience is very important to you.
You tend to know what you want, and you’re willing to pay to get it quickly. You probably enjoy shopping online.
You enjoy taking time to pick out what you want, but once you’re ready to buy, you don’t want to drag out the process.
Love the deals at DSW 😉 Next time, be sure to enter your email address, Facebook, or Twitter so that you can get a prize if you win! Wouldn’t want you to miss out 🙂
1. What are your favorite stores to shop at?
Oh, bookstores. No question! Although music stores (rare though they have become) are good, too. And Apple stores are fun, if too tempting!

Books, music. I don’t really like to shop generally speaking.

Online, except for shoes. (Although I’ve bought shoes that way, too, if that’s the cheapest option.)

My iPod Touch! Although my BluRay player comes in high on the “best” scale, too. 🙂
5. Take What’s Your Shopping Stereotype? – What do you get? Is it accurate?
I got “Your Shopping Stereotype is Economical”–yeah, that’s about right! I don’t enjoy the process of shopping, but I do like getting the most for my money–which is why I buy good quality things in non-trendy styles.
(Although, the “balanced” stereotype works for me, too!)
I am a bit of a BluRay addict myself 🙂 Once you get used to the quality, it’s hard to go back!

traditional, I like stuff that is classic and well made that I can mix and match and wear for years. I had a shirt from Nordstrom once I wore for seven years. threw it out only because I was so tired of it.
