New data from CashLady.com has discovered that most people across the UK believe that the biggest waste of money this year is spending money to buy clothes that will only be worn once. The survey of 2,017 people conducted by the credit broker set out to find out what Brits believed to be the biggest waste of cash in 2023.
The research found that 67 per cent of Brits believe they have ‘wasted’ between £21 and £100 on purchasing clothes to wear just once in the past year alone, with the average amount spent being around £84. It also showed that two in five people think that using a taxi service, rather than taking a bus or walking, is another waste of precious money during the ongoing cost of living crisis.
Spending money on delivery charges for an item that could be collected took the third spot with more than one in three believing it a needless expense.
