If there is one thing that shoppers have in common, it’s that we all like a bargain and getting good value for our money. But beyond this basic human desire, the reality is that shoppers around the globe have very different spending habits. Money-saving website Savoo conducted a study to determine which countries have the most savvy and sustainable shoppers.
After analysing various metrics such as household spending and saving, the number of flea markets available, Etsy listings, and Google searches for discount codes, this is what we found.
