I'm cheap when it comes to certain things. My family has always made fun of me and my hording of money and looking for deals and coupons. so am i cheap or frugal?

I think I'm fairly frugal. I try really hard to look for bargains/sales/coupons.

Depends! I think I'm frugal when needed (and most of the time) and spend when I need to for quality stuff!

I'm frugal! I always make sure I find the best deal before I buy something... Like for the baby, I've used NBD for the majority of things. Why spend full price or make someone else spend double when I can get it for half off?!

Frugal and cheap.

I voted neither because I have no qualms about spending big(ger) bucks on items I deem to be worth it in terms of quality and need. I'll save when I need to and skimp out on unneccesary things. Also, I do like to treat myself (and others) all the time.

I like my money in my bank account...at one point my mother described one of my hobbies as counting my money.

I do spend on things though, especially on services, like getting my hair cut, painting my house, etc.

I'm fairly frugal I think with a slight case of spender!

@regberadaisy: Darn right!! Cuz then I can use the money I saved on something else. Double win!

I like quality. I will spend on quality things but will bargain hunt for the rest.

Both/neither. I don't mind laying out $$$ for what I want and spend what many would consider a ridiculous amount on food/booze/eating out. On the other hand, I'm frugal for stuff I don't really care about (like clothes, handbags, etc.). I like to buy quality pieces but want to find them on sale.

As long as I have a good cushion of savings and all my bills are paid, I like to enjoy my money!

Im cheap, but also a spender... if that makes sense.

I go through phases of being a spender then I'm super frugal. I think I'm more of a spender a majority of the time. Shopping makes me happy but saving does too.

I'm more relaxed when our savings isn't weak.

Spender... Although I don't buy things for myself really (it's baaaaaad with DD) but my spending habits creep into groceries, house stuff etc.... I could do a lot better than I am currently

I'm more of a frugal spender. I am working on becoming a saver because it's extremely important to me but its extremely difficult for me. I have to do weird things to get myself to save. I was never really taught how to manage money and its really affected our finances as adults!!

frugal! i like to shop, i like nice things, i hate parting with $$ =D so i try to find great deals on nice things. there are plenty of things i don't care about though & just choose not to spend any money on- like cable.

I try to be frugal.

I'm frugal and cheap! But sometimes I go on a shopping spree and hoard whenever I find a good deal, then won't buy anything or months.

I'm a spender. However, I also feel I'm good at saving money. I always pay myself first for retirement etc. but I don't hesitate to spend money with what's leftover. My DH is very frugal. He will research items forever before making a purchase and hardly shops at all. We balance each other out well!

I voted neither. I'm obsessed with our budget and always make sure we're in the green, but do like quality over quantity and will spend more on nicer things sometimes.

DH loves to hunt for deals and when something's on sale he always asks me if we should get it, and more often than not I have to ask, "do we reallyy need it?" - I'm not willing to buy something just because it's on sale! It's still money down the drain if we're buying something on sale that we don't really *need* - then it ends up adding to the clutter in our house, which I hate. I am such a minimalist.
