#Win with NYK - What Type of Savvy Shopper are You?

What Type of Savvy Shopper are you and what are 'Freedom Rewards'?

coins

I’m a Bargain Hunter Gatherer and proud of it!

Frugaldom is giving you the chance to learn about Freedom Rewards while taking a short quiz to determine what type of savvy shopper you are, plus the chance to win £60 of Amazon vouchers, courtesy of our sponsors at Barclaycard. 
A new consumer study carried out by Barclaycard - which processes nearly half of all card transactions in the UK – together with consumer experts at Brunel University, shows that the recent economic climate has made a lasting impact on how we approach shopping and saving money. Bagging a bargain goes far beyond just saving cash, people now place far greater value on the emotional investment of smart spending, giving rise to our four new modern shopping 'tribes'.
  •  The Bargain Hunter Gatherer
  •  The High Street Pounder
  •  The Screen Saver 
  •  The Profit Prophet
I took the quiz and am pleasantly surprised at how accurate the results are! Now it’s your turn to see what you think and share your views. An extra £60 to spend is a much appreciated opportunity and, thanks to our sponsors, we have just that!
 
Take part in the quiz here

Edited in: Results of the free draw can be found here

    I'm a profit prophet. Thankyou kindly for the chance to win NYK. I'd love to work out how to be a hunter gatherer though! Lol.

    Happy weekend. X

    Well it appears that I am a High Street Pounder. Well I certainly like to check out all the best bargains, as I pound the streets on my mobility scooter !

    Cheap and Cheerful.

    I am considered a high street pounder because I shop locally and know the name of local shop keepers?!!!! I don't think so! What rubbish!

    Me - I'm a High Street Pounder! I like to support my local shops where possible but I live in a village an the local shops are just a butcher and a (market) greengrocer. I occasionally venture into the nearby town but actually I use the web for a lot of shopping becuase prices are keener and the cost of taking the car into town (I'm disabled and the car is the only way) and parking it, means it's a very expensive option.

    Fun! I'm a "screen saver" which I guess is true...though I find I do most of my shopping online only because our high street is lacking a lot of useful shops! So it goes...

    Apparently I too am a Bargain Hunter Gatherer. I hold no brand specific loyalty and play brands off against one another, when one supermarket chain sends me discount vouchers I use them and then the other supermarket gets jealous and sends me vouchers to go and play with them. I am a bit of a fickle friend swapping to who has the nicest vouchers.

    Surprise, surprise, I am also a BHG with a hint of HSP :)

    I adore that my cards offer cash back and / or the opportunity to collect points - it's like having elastic money, it stretches funds that wee bit further!

  15. Ms Nottingham22 November 2013 at 09:58

    Yep - Bargain Hunter Gatherer here too. After being made redundant while on maternity leave I started menu planning back in August - at first it seemed totally ridiculous to think of what we would eat in a week's time. Now it's second nature and I'm thinking/planning weeks in advance instead. I signed up for Top Cash Back and have over £200 'banked' which we're going to cash in for the Christmas period so that we can buy meat (a rareity) and entertain the family and do some family activities together too. Do I feel deprived? No way. Do I wish I had more money? Yes, always. But I've never been more grateful for what we do have and I've never been happier :) Thank you for your inspiring blog. :) vx

    I am a Profit Prophet. Most the time I am good out searching out bargains but I don't enjoy shopping anymore. I tend to stick with local supermarkets, I am lucky that we have most supermarkets fairly close. Going in to the city feels me with dread at this time of year.

    I'm a High Street Pounder, NYK, according to Barclaycard. Not entirely true, as I love internet shopping, but I do like to get to know my local shopkeepers and buy local when I can.

    I came out as a profit prophet ??? yes I do like to plan ahead in most things such as I will plan what to buy in each shop to make the most of offers etc but I also have a slush fund to pick up unexpected bargains or multi buys when I see them so not sure if it was completely correct.
    This quiz has made me look at the other types of shoppers and perhaps learn a thing or two.

    I came out as a screen saver which is not true! I don't use apps, twitter or a mobile phone. I use the local shops, and, although I do shop online it's for things that I can't get locally or is cheaper.

  38. Aril24 November 2013 at 21:02

    I am most definitely a Profit Prophet. I absolutely hate having to buy something on the spur of the moment- I always want to do my research first and think about the options open to me first. I don't use apps of any sort and never do online shopping for food although I do check on mysupermarket beforehand sometimes. I also like to check prices up and down our high street before I part with my hard earned cash!. I am quite a way off retirement but am thinking ahead so that we will be comfortable when we reach that stage.

    I am a high street pounder according to the survey. I do like to shop locally for groceries, I use my local butcher and know the names of most of the shopkeepers, but then again, I used to be one of them myself. I'm not sure that I am actually a high street pounder though, as I do use the internet quite a bit as well. I would say that I am all round bargain hunter lol.

    Well, it says that I am a high street pounder but I am not quite convinced! The things available on our local high street are degenerating into fast food outlets and bookmakers, interspersed with only the odd charity shop - thank goodness for those or it would hardly be worth going in to the town!

    Another categorised as a high street pounder. In fact, I seek out bargains whenever and wherever I can - but I do believe in supporting local shops when they offer good value - and many do, of those that survive.
