Half of Brits say the cost-of-living crisis has changed their attitudes towards savings – as they are now more likely to set money aside specifically for smaller, everyday expenses, like clothes or food shopping.
A survey of 2,000 money-conscious adults found they now have an average of three separate savings pots at their disposal, for essential spending such as energy bills and public transport expenses.
Over half of those polled (54 per cent) say they used to just swallow such smaller costs as and when they came up – but 49 per cent are now planning ahead more than ever.
