Savor Scout › Food personality types › The Bargain Hunter
The Bargain Hunter
Plastic chairs, perfect food, half the price.
You've worked out that the room has almost nothing to do with the cooking. Give you a handwritten menu and a queue of locals and you're exactly where you want to be.
What being The Bargain Hunter actually means
You worked out early that the room has almost nothing to do with the cooking. Plastic chairs, a handwritten menu and a queue of locals is not a downgrade, it is a signal — and paying twice as much for a tablecloth reads to you as paying for the tablecloth.
How you find out
The Savor Scout taste quiz runs over seven days — five questions a day, about a minute each. Every day reads a different part of how you eat: heat, sweet, value, adventure, late nights and discovery. On the last day you get your type.
It is not a personality test for its own sake. Your answers weight what the app recommends, starting from day one, so a The Bargain Hunter and a The Firewalker searching the same words in the same town get different restaurants back.
The other types
- The Firewalker — You chase the burn, and you finish the plate.
- The Purist — You want to taste the food, not the fire.
- The Sweet Tooth — There is always room. You've checked.
- The Occasion Maker — You're paying for the evening, not just the food.
- The Blind Orderer — You order the thing you can't identify.
- The Night Owl — The best food happens after dark.
- The Gem Finder — Thirty reviews beats three thousand.
