How do you feel now about the recession's impact on your purchase decisions?

We have been dealing with a recession for a while now.  As the recovery continues, are you returning to your old shopping habits?  Are you still buying the most economical option or are you perhaps, going back to some of your favorites?

Please tell us what you think.  We want to know!

I'm tired of going for the cheapest option. I'm starting to buy my usual favorites again (6.5%)

I'm not buying the cheapest product anymore, but looking for options that suit my budget and taste (30.7%)

I'm still trying to purchase the cheapest option (45.6%)

I haven't reduced spending because of recession (17.1%)

    It is always nice when you can save money and not have to give to corporate america. i love to find great sales and i turn it into a treasure hunt which always makes it more exciting. I have never been ashamed of coupons and the more money you can save the better.

    I love finding great deals. It makes me feel like I'm contributing financially to the household.

    I used to push my shopping cart up and down every isle while grocery shopping. As the recession continues to get worse, I now only go directly to the items I intended to purchase. If they are still too expensive, I walk out of the store without even getting the least expensive items. I guess it makes it easier to carry my grocery bags home :)
