Currys, the tech retailer, has seen an increase in sales of garden maintenance products with lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and leaf blowers flying off the shelves. This comes as Brits swap pub gardens for home garden parties amidst the cost-of-living crisis.
Currys has seen a 21% sales spike in garden and outdoor products as well as an 83% spike in summer seasonal products such as BBQs, drills and electric garden routers, when compared with last year. Top selling items such as the BOSCH Rotak 34 R Corded Rotary Lawn Mower are up by 25% versus last year with the George Foreman Gas BBQ and the UniversalGardenTidy 3000 3740 also up by 84% and 144% respectively.
Shoppers are looking to level up their gardens for hosting outdoors this year, particularly as prices at pubs and restaurants continue to soar.
