rewrite this title Quiz: What’s Your Holiday Shopping Personality? – NerdWallet

Holiday decorations and deals are already hitting shelves — and your inbox. Are you ready?

Maybe this season is your Super Bowl. Or maybe you’re more of a “I’ll get deals if I see ’em” person.

We used AI to create a quiz based on articles written by our Nerdy experts. Take it to find out your holiday shopping personality.

We know some people like that. Our Nerds took the holiday shopping quiz, and the results were a mix.

You tend to impulse buy and rely heavily on the hype of the sale. You often go into the shopping period without a plan…

Honestly, this was me. Don’t @ me! I haven’t been on NerdWallet’s shopping squad that long.

I know I should do my homework, but I have to work, parent, exercise and attempt to get my daily protein allotment. Fitting “create a holiday budget” into my schedule would be the smart move, but when? Guys, who has time? Please tell me someone out there can relate.

“I, too, am a Vibes Only gal,” she says. “Honestly, I usually feel like I’m just barely hanging on during the holiday rush, so I’m not putting much time into planning and bargain hunting. If I find a coupon code I can use, I’m ecstatic. Clearly I could save some money by being more strategic about it.”

You approach sales methodically by making a list of your needs and wants. You understand the importance of budgeting and have general knowledge of which items (like toys or TVs) tend to be discounted…

“I’m the shopper who has a note on my phone where I’m constantly jotting down gift ideas for my kids, my husband — and even things I’d like for myself,” she says. “I typically add items to my cart and see what prices are. With things in one place, I can watch prices for a few weeks and buy when it feels like a good savings to me.”

You leverage every tool and strategy recommended by personal finance experts (like the Nerds!) to secure the maximum discount. You prioritize doing extensive homework by tracking prices ahead of time to confirm you are securing an actual discount versus an inflated sale price…

“Saving money makes me feel an extra boost of holiday joy, so I always make my list well before Thanksgiving so I can start monitoring sales,” she says. “Then, I make my purchases when the prices drop.”

Some of us can only aspire to get on Kim’s level.
