Brits are cutting back on festivals, meals out and takeaways to save money

Over half of Brits (53 per cent) are choosing to cut back on fun experiences this summer as a result of the cost-of-living crisis – with meals out in restaurants, and live gigs or events, among the top activities being ditched.

Splashing out on takeaways, shopping for non-essential items, and treating themselves in coffee shops, are also among other pleasurable moments Brits will enjoy less of in the coming months.

And over a quarter, of the 2,000 adults polled, acknowledge that this summer will not be as enjoyable as previous years, as they save an average of £171 a month – adding up to over £2,000 by the end of the year.
