Tips so that you can help yourself cut your everyday spending

A new survey by EY of global consumer sentiment shows people everywhere adjusting to higher living costs by taking action regarding their spending behaviour.

The 12th EY Future Consumer Index is a survey of consumers in 27 countries on their views on their future spending.

The sentiment in the survey I believe is fairly similar in Ireland.    

  • 94% of respondents are concerned about the rising cost of living.
  • 55% of respondents see brands as less important and 29% have switched to own label.
  • Over 35% of consumers plan to spend less on clothes take away foods and only spend on essential products.
  • 67% of consumers say they intend to repair than replace their possessions.

Colette Devey, EY Ireland Partner and Consumer Products and Retail Lead said on RTÉ's Morning Ireland that:

"It was very clear from our survey that consumers are continuing to reign in spending amidst a very challenging cost of living environment,"
