A new survey on Memorial Day spending is out, and the average person will spend a total of $225 on three things: food, booze, and deals.
Here’s how it breaks down:
1. We’ll spend an average of 70 bucks on food this weekend. Fifty-one percent of us plan to cook at home; 44 percent are going to a barbecue or picnic with friends and family; and just 5 percent of us are going out to eat.
2. Fourty-seven percent of us are buying alcohol, and spending an average of $55 on it. Eighty-one percent plan to buy beer; 47 percent will buy wine; 23 percent will buy vodka; and 21 percent will buy whiskey.
3. The average person looking for deals this weekend will spend about $100 shopping. Thirty-four percent of us plan to buy clothes; 22 percent are buying something for the house; 21 percent are buying shoes; and 12 percent are looking for deals on electronics.
