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.
