Hi Friends,What kind of shopper are you? Are you a credit card binger or a careful cash spender? Do you view shopping as a hobby and a way to socialize, and probably spend too much? Or you are a very organized person when it comes to shopping, you do research before you shop, and only focused on what you need?

I am mostly a bargin shopper, I only rear my head around holidays and sales so I don't spend too much. I never seem to have a whole lot of cash on me so I use credit and debit cards.

Hi Bowtieguy, Yes, Indeed... Bargain shopping is a useful skill for anyone who is trying to save money or balance their household budget. But I always wondered why some shoppers always find amazing bargains when I seem to pay full price for nearly everything...must get to learn where to look for the best deals. CHEERS!!

I use both cash and credit to pay for my shopping expenses. When I go to the grocery, I always use my card. When there's a big sale and I have a huge bill to pay I use my card as well. I only pay in cash when I'm splitting the dinner bill with my friends or when I'm buying ice cream and such. It doesn't matter how ou pay actually, they're both equivalent to money.

Hi Mimico, I do shops with credit card too, moreover, my credit card company gives away points to offset card's bill too, so kind of save a little bit of money as well...But I make sure I settled the bills monthly.

I am strictly a cash shopper. I alot myself so much cash and when it's gone I am done shopping. I never shop with a credit card. If I am grocery shopping I go by a list but otherwise I just wing it until I run out of funds! LOL

Hi Fasttalker, Keeps telling myself not to bring along credit card when shopping, cause paying by cash can prevent over spending...but sometimes the cards just appeals in the wallet..haha..will learn from you, be more strict to myself..Happy myLotting!!

i use my debit card since i dont carry cash but i dont charge anything to where i cant pay it off within a month.. but i research everything and dont spend money that much.. im too cheap to want to buy things.. if im going to spend money on things it would be for experience such as going out to eat or seeing a movie that i can enjoy with others

Hi kiinin....I dont spend too much in shopping...I dont have credit card as well cos I had a bad experience with it hehehe! I only get those which are needed. I dont consider shopping as a hobby... i rarely go out on shopping with my friends and cousins thou most of our weekends we spent in malls... we love to do window shopping, having coffee after that. Im very careful with my financial expenses now adays hahahha!
