Irish people 'spend more than two weeks a year shopping'
IF YOU’RE LIVING in Ireland, you probably spend around 16 full days a year shopping.
That’s more than a fortnight every year, or slightly less than the standard annual holiday allowance. (Yes, apparently you shop for almost as much as you have days off work.)
The figure is according to an online survey of 1,000 Irish people by Promocodes.ie. It found that every week, we spend an average of:
Two hours and 15 minutes shopping for food
Two hours shopping for clothes and shoes
Forty minutes shopping for toiletries and health products
Thirty minutes shopping for books, films and music
Twenty minutes buying cards and presents
Two and a half hours generally wandering around or browsing.
That’s a total of eight hours and 15 minutes a week. And frankly, everyone, that is a HELLUVA lot of shopping.
Do you shop this much?
