What kind of consumer are you? by Jenny Huffman

Needs-based Consumer

jennyhuffman — 2025-08-25 17:40:06 UTC

"When I spend money, it’s usually on things I actually need, like lunch at school, supplies for class, or gas if I’m driving somewhere. I don’t really go for random stuff unless it’s necessary. For example, instead of buying the newest shoes or video game right away, I make sure I’ve got money for my phone bill or school activities first. I usually think about whether something is a need or just a want before I buy it, because I don’t want to waste money on things I don’t really use.”

Inferior Goods Consumer

"I usually buy the cheaper versions of products instead of the name-brand ones. For example, when I go grocery shopping, I’ll pick the store-brand cereal or chips instead of the expensive brands, because it saves money and still gets the job done. If I had more money, I’d probably upgrade to the more expensive brands or different products, but for now I’m fine with the affordable options.”

If I find an item that I like from a place, I will continue to buy from and support that company for a long time.

“I’m a restaurant manager and we often go through a lot of produce, dairy, meat, dessert, etc. We often need a lot of materials to be able to produce food, and we can get our supplies from a bigger produce company that we can buy in bulk for a cheaper trade price.”

I love online shopping. I spend about 3-5 hours on these shopping platforms. I heavily rely on online shopping and technology, researching, reading reviews, making purchases on platforms like Amazon, eBay, and Temu.

I recently just bought a new apartment and I’m looking for some furniture to furnish it. I’m a little older and I don’t really know how to use technology but I will be using amazon to purchase my items. I am new to shopping online and might need some assistance from someone.

When I buy something I am the one who enjoys it and uses it. I don’t do resale!

I am a customer that loves shopping at any place. I love spending money for good quality products and stuffs. I have favorite brands that I like to come over and over again. I love using these good products and it is worth to buy it even they are expensive. “When I run out of a product, I will purchase from that company again. For example, if I run out of a certain food I enjoy, I will continue the same one since I know I like it”.

“When I spend money, I spend it based off my financial buoyancy. When I have the money, I purchase goods according to the money. For example, If I have lots of money, I will buy an expensive good because I can afford it.”

“If I find something on sale that I like and have coupons for it I will buy it. For example if I go to shop for a new jacket I has to be in the summer so it is on sale.”

I saved my money all year until its it is Halloween because i like to buy the Halloween decorations from spirt Halloween. I only ever splurge this one time of the year. I’ve got a million dollar bank account until the end of the year. My whole house is black and orange.
