WHAT'S YOUR SHOPPING STYLE?

HOW DID YOU SCORE?

0 - 12 POINTS: ZEN MALLRAT

Did someone say retail therapy? For a laid-back shopper like you, the mall is more than just the place you go when you need a new pair of jeans or a birthday present for your BFF. It's your sanctuary. You treat a shopping trip like a relaxing retreat that takes your mind off the stresses of the day and lets you unwind. Browsing the new arrivals, cruising the displays, catching a movie, flirting with guys, or enjoying a snack in the food court makes a trip to the mall more of a journey than a destination. And finding a great new purchase or two? That's the icing on an already delicious cake.

13 - 20 POINTS: SPREE SPENDER

To you, shopping is more than just an activity. It's an event! In fact, you could probably draw a map of the mall in your sleep. Just popping in for a minute to pick something up? Running in to only one store? Hello, we don't think so! Spree shoppers like you give new meaning to the phrase, "Shop 'til you drop." Shopping is an experience, and you're in it for the long haul. How else will you find such great stuff? With your eye for style and love of trying things on, you're likely to come home with plenty of to-die-for new finds. Ouch, your poor bank account!

21 - 27 POINTS: SMART SHOPPER

Who needs to pay full price? Not you! Maybe you've learned from experience or perhaps you're just savvy with your dollars, but it's clear that you're a smart shopper who isn't afraid to shop around. Impulse purchases are just not your style. You research prices and brands before you buy, whether the purchase is a winter coat, a pair of shoes or a new computer. Whether you go around to different stores, test out the merchandise, compare prices, research on the Internet, or ask other people's opinions, you do what it takes to find the best buy. And that's why you're such a smart shopper!

28 OR MORE POINTS: DISCOUNT DIVA

Buy something new? Not if you can score a fabulous vintage find. To you, it's twice the style at half the price! You know where to find fashions from the past, and you're probably pretty handy at re-working them into trendy pieces, either by DIY sewing or accessorizing with trendy items. Your strong fashion sense guides you to the perfect vintage find, that looks totally today. A savvy discount shopper, you can usually find something cute at a fraction of the cost of what the malls are charging. Bargain hunting is an exercise in patience and persistence, and lucky for you, you've got 'em both. Whether you're hitting thift stores, flea markets, e-Bay, outlet stores or sample sales, you've got a knack for getting the most bang for your buck.
