What’s Your Retail Therapy Type?

1. It's the weekend and you have some free time. What's your ideal shopping scenario?

Hitting every sale rack and discount store in town

Browsing a high-end boutique with a glass of champagne

Wandering aimlessly until something catches my eye

Shopping from a carefully prepared list of necessities

2. You see a gorgeous item you love but it's way over your budget. What do you do?

Wait for it to go on sale or find a dupe

Buy it anyway — quality is worth the investment

Buy it impulsively and figure out the budget later

Walk away — if it's not in the budget, it's not happening

3. How do you feel after a big shopping trip?

Proud and accomplished — I saved so much money!

Pampered and indulged — I deserve the best

Excited but slightly guilty about what I bought

Calm and satisfied — I got exactly what I needed

4. What's your relationship with shopping lists?

I have a list but it's mostly of deals I'm tracking

Lists are for people without taste — I shop by feel

What list? I just go with the flow!

My list is detailed, categorized, and color-coded

5. Which of these best describes your closet?

Full of great finds at amazing prices

A curated collection of timeless, high-quality pieces

Overflowing with impulse buys I forgot I had

Minimal, intentional, and everything has a purpose

6. You're stressed after a tough week. How does shopping factor in?

I browse sales online — finding deals is relaxing

I treat myself to something luxurious as a reward

I go on a spontaneous shopping spree to feel better

Shopping doesn't help stress — I prefer other outlets

7. What's your go-to approach when shopping for a gift?

Find something thoughtful at the best possible price

Go all out — only the best for the people I love

Spot something random that feels perfect in the moment

Research thoroughly and find something truly useful

8. How do you feel about fast fashion and trendy items?

Love it — trendy pieces at low prices are a win

Not interested — I prefer timeless, quality pieces

I'm all over it — I love being on trend!

I avoid it — it's wasteful and not sustainable

9. Someone shows you a new product that's going viral. What's your reaction?

I check if there's a cheaper version or a coupon

I'm already following the trend — I bought it last week

I add it to my cart immediately without thinking twice

I ask myself if I actually need it before considering it

10. What does your online shopping cart usually look like?

Full of items waiting for a price drop or coupon

A few carefully selected premium items

Overflowing with random things I added on a whim

The latest trending items I spotted on social media

11. How important is brand name to you when shopping?

Not at all — I care about price, not labels

Very important — brands signal quality and prestige

Only if it's a trending brand everyone's talking about

Irrelevant — I care about function and durability

12. You receive an unexpected cash windfall. What do you do with it?

Stock up on essentials while they're on sale

Splurge on that luxury item I've been eyeing forever

Go on a spontaneous shopping spree — why not?

Save most of it and only buy what I truly need

13. How do you discover new products or stores?

Deal newsletters, cashback apps, and coupon sites

Luxury magazines, influencers, and high-end editorials

TikTok, Instagram, and whatever's going viral right now

Word of mouth and in-depth consumer reviews

14. What's your biggest shopping regret?

Missing a sale I could have planned for better

Settling for something cheaper instead of the real thing

Buying something on a whim that I never used

Buying something trendy that went out of style fast

15. Which statement resonates most with your shopping philosophy?

Why pay full price when you can always find a deal?

Buy less, but buy the absolute best you can afford

Life is short — if it makes you happy, buy it!

Own only what you need, and love everything you own
