Poles are returning to the tradition of family celebration of Easter

After two years of a pandemic and limitations in social contacts, Poles intend to spend Easter in a larger family circle, according to the Provident Barometer. 70 percent will celebrate at home, and 30 percent are planning to visit family or friends. Due to high inflation, this year's Easter basket will be more expensive and it can also be seen in the declarations of Poles. This year, they will spend an average of PLN 535 on Easter shopping – PLN 57 more than last year, but still much less than before the pandemic. In 2020, before the pandemic broke out, Poles declared an average expenditure of PLN 637.

"As part of the Provident Barometer survey, we asked Poles a question about spending for Easter. It turns out that this year's Easter will cost the family on average PLN 535, which is PLN 100 lower than before the pandemic. Nevertheless, the positive effects of what is happening with the pandemic are already visible. our emotions and wallets, because this amount is PLN 57 higher than last year," Karolina Łuczak, a spokeswoman for Provident Polska, assessed.

Expenses exceeding PLN 600 are planned by respondents from only one age group – 55+. The declared average here is almost PLN 660.

"The most for Easter, as in the case of Christmas, will be spent by the elderly and residents of small towns and villages. The least for Easter will be the youngest, between the ages of 20 and 25, and residents of large cities," Karolina Łuczak added.
