Are asians cheap with buying stuff?

[T r u e A s i a n L o v e]

"Last night I tried but I couldn't sleep, thoughts of you were in my head..."

In my experience there are two types of asians....
The ones who try to get by
and the ones born into money...
I'm in an asian family that tries to get by
and we do like to get things on SALE!
I mean, who doesn't like sales!?

"I was lonely and I needed you next to me, life is harder since you left....."

I thought this was cute!
Don't you?
Like this picture so much?

OMG my filipino mom is so like that
like she'll wait for stuff to be 50% off and then
use a 30% off coupon thing with it at lord & taylor

omg she bought a $100 shirt for $16
shes the queen of shopping

My dad is one of the best bargainers out there.

Meh, depends on the person.
I'm cheap, even though I have plenty of money.

I don't bargain, mainly because I'm not the type of guy who likes to inconvenience others.
However, I do try to buy cheaper products that still have the same effect/outcome. I.e., instead of a box of 24 coke cans for $15, I'll buy a box of 24 pepsi max cans for $12. Just cheaper and saves me money to buy other products, like the rather expensive but delicious Mousse Pocky which costs around $4 compared to the cheaper pocky that costs $1.20.

For instance, buying 24 pepsi max cans for $12 instead of buying one can for $2 each in the city is saving me quite a bit of money.

So yea, I guess for me at least I do buy cheaper products for most things so I can save up to buy more expensive, nicer stuff later.

my parents/ relatives negotiates.
well, i won't say they are stingy
but they want to buy the thing for what it's worth
and not let the shopkeepers raise their price higher and higher
until no one affords.
well, that's their(and my?!) theory.
mrgreen

My family is cheap and I'm not afraid to admit it! xd We usually only buy something if it's on sale, and we reuse things a lot. (including gifts sweatdrop ) Me personally, I only buy something if I [i]really[i/] need it.
Yesterday, me and my brother spent 1 hour at the craft store trying to decide how much paint to buy and which was cheaper 3nodding  

[kurious_kitkats]

My whole family is cheap. I know I am because a friend of mine brought a book for 20 dolors, while i order my book off Amazon and paid $11.37 with free shipping because i brought more books.
