BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is the poster child for the word "frugal," and you might even buy the poster if it cost less. Family and friends look to you as a pillar of strength, and rightly so.

Be on the lookout for letters from the Internal Revenue Service. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter Q, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 698645. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).

You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.
This isn't me! What am I?
