What Kind of Shopper Are You? Tell us today and be in to win a £20 Amazon Voucher!

Posted By Laura in Competitions | 237 comments

Read on for a quick-and-easy chance to win TODAY!

Are you a Profit Prophet? A Screen Saver? Maybe High Street Pounder is more your style? Me, I’m a Bargain Hunter Gatherer, apparently.

A new consumer study from Barclaycard Freedom Rewards has revealed four new modern shopping ‘tribes’ – the recession hasn’t just messed up our bank balances, it has irrevocably altered the way we shop.

Once we were Loyal – dedicated to our favourite shops. But now a third of us have turned into promiscuous purchasers, while at the other end of the bank balances a third of us have morphed into careful consumers who never deviate from our shopping list.

I took Barclaycard’s quiz – and it tells me I’m a Bargain Hunter Gatherer. And… I hold my hands up. That’s me. Here’s how it describes me:

You’re an expert at collecting the best tools, voucher codes and loyalty cards to make your budget go as far as possible, week in, week out. While the kids are doing their homework, you’re doing yours – grabbing the best savings for your family.
(well, I’m pretty hot at the web forums and voucher code sites and the cashback shopping to really make sure that I’m buying at the very best price available. But I actually shop very rarely – only for necessities. Christmas is the one time of year I get to flex my Hunter Fingers)

You’re most likely to be female, married or living with your partner and living in the north of the UK.
– Check for female, check for married – but I’m wa-a-a-y down South.

You lot are busy. Two thirds of you cleverly juggle your home, work and financial life. –
Check, check and thrice check.

You’re not easily tempted by big discounts, only 35% of you have ever bought a non-essential item you didn’t need because of a special offer.
– Totally check. If I don’t *need* it, then it doesn’t matter how bug a bargain it is. I still don’t need it.

Home really is where the heart is – 42% of you selflessly save your loyalty card points up for treats for the family.
Yup – they’re either used for regular necessities or whole-family treats. That’s not being a selfless hero – that’s just common sense, isn’t it?

You’re certainly not one to rush into Christmas shopping. You’ll bide your time and wait until the right price comes up – meaning you’ll likely strike the final week before Christmas.
Oooh, no. I’m half way done already. BUT – I never impulse buy. Every single item is double checked to be sure it’s a good price.

Bargain hunting’s in your blood. Once you smell a bargain, the hunt is on – two thirds of you regularly shop around different stores and websites to get the best deal before settling on a purchase.
I never ever hit buy until I’ve checked the item on 3 or 4 different sites, plus run it through Idealo. I’ve been known to miss out on a deal because I’ve just hesitated too long in case it was a better price somewhere else.

So – now it’s your turn: take the 30-second Quiz, and leave a comment to let me know what type of shopper you are. One commenter will be picked at random to win a £20 Amazon voucher!

whats your shopping sgtyle

Once you’ve taken the quiz, just come back and leave a comment to let us know what type of shopper you are. Everyone who enters before midnight tomorrow will be in to win a quick-and-easy £20 Amazon Voucher.

NOW CLOSED

What is the Barclaycard Freedom Rewards credit card?

The Freedom Rewards credit card is a fee free card that rewards you with Freedom points on all your spend which can be redeemed for rewards at over 70 Freedom partners – from the broadest range of high street brands to big online names, worthy causes, and great places to spend time with your family, including Odeon and UNICEF.

Author: Laura

A 70's child, I’ve been married for a Very Long Time, and appear to have made four children, and collected one large and useless dog along the way. I work, I have four children, I have a dog… ergo, I do not do dusting or ironing. I began LittleStuff back in (gulp) 2004. I like huge mugs of tea. And Coffee. And Cake. And a steaming cone of crispy fresh fluffy chips, smothered in salt and vinegar. #healthyeater When I grow up I am going to be quietly graceful, organised and wear lipstick every day. In the meantime I *may* have a slight butterfly-brain issue.
