While the economy crashes and jobs are lost, many Brits have found that lockdown has been beneficial for their money in one tiny way: they’ve cut back their personal spending and managed to put away some extra cash.
While some of quickly had those dreams by dashed by a new online shopping addiction and paycuts, others actually managed to stick to tighter lockdown budgets. The survey found that UK households have saved £34.39 a week on average on buying clothes, £34.14 a week on running the car, and £33.57 on paying for meals out.
On average, our decreased pub trips have saved us £27 a week, whereas for Londoners this jumps to £39 a week.
