I'm exactly the same way. I hate paying full price, I feel like I'm being cheated or wasting my money even if I can afford it easily. But then other times I do waste money so it's a strange distinction. I definitely prefer stress-free over good deals. I get anxious in crowds too, but I've learned to enjoy it more and relax. I like to people-watch, even in a potentially stressful situation such as shopping.
