You like shopping, but only in brand shops. If you buy anything in the sale, you never admit (przyznać) it. You prefer to spend more money and you have to know that other people will be amazed! You think that you are an original type. Maybe, you are but does it have to be in such a snobby way? Be careful! Sometimes people are not jealous of your brand-new shiny things. They just laugh at you!

You are a very smart person. You don’t like spending money on unnecessary (niepotrzebne) things. You never joke at people who have cheap things. People who buy expensive clothes and food are safe as well! You accept everybody! Unfortunately, there’s one problem with you: You can’t decide! You can spend hours in the shop choosing, comparing (porównując) prices and asking shop assistants million of questions. It can be very annoying, especially for your companions who have to wait for you for ages!

In general, you don’t spend a lot of money unless… you see the sales (wyprzedaże), promotions or free gifts (darmowe prezenty)! You are one of those people who can have a small party if there’s a food or drinks tasting in a hypermarket. You have one rule: “Something is for free? Take it!” That’s fantastic but… if you want to get a free gift, you have to buy some other things! In fact, you spend much more money then you planned. And there’s one more thing: try to pay more attention to the quality of free products. You don’t want to look like a very trashy Christmas tree (tandetna choinka).
