Three out of four Poles spend less, except for food

Due to income insecurity, 75 percent of Poles recently reduced spending on purchases other than food products, according to the latest poll results published by ARC Rynek i Opinia, a Warsaw-based market researcher. As many as 81 percent of Poles gave up going to restaurants. The survey also found that 47 percent chose shopping online more often than before.

Every fifth respondent (19 percent) admitted that they restricted their visits to shopping centers and large stores due to the risk of infection. Poles resigned from going to shopping malls and large stores (79 percent), from long stays in galleries (76 percent) and from impulse buying (72 percent).

One-third of respondents ordered food delivery (34 percent) more often than before the pandemic, ARC informed.
