He looks for bargains, searches for product reviews, and shops online and in the stores for the best deal he can find before laying out the hard earned dough. He’s even known to haggle in the stores. Still, he is a spender and I try to clinch hang on to our money so that we can be financially secure for our future and emergencies.
