Poles tighten their belts before Christmas

As many as 8 in 10 Poles (81 percent) intend to cut back on their Christmas spending on groceries this year, according to the latest Consumer Attitudes Survey. In turn, 28 percent of respondents declare to spend between PLN 101-200 per person. A year ago, this range was indicated by one in four respondents. On top of this, 9 out of 10 respondents will look for products on promotion in shops, which is more than before last Christmas. Furthermore, the survey shows that as many as 94 percent of people plan to use a shopping list as part of their active savings. This also represents an increase compared to the end of last year.

"Rising prices are of course the main driver of the desire to save. However, I would also agree with the thesis that it is not so much that we want to save, but rather not to spend too much on Christmas or try to buy as many products as possible within last year's budget," Marcin Lenkiewicz, co-author of the BLIX Group study, commented.
