Of those who have already bought, 20% state that they have bought both the planned and several advantageous goods that I did not anticipate, and another 2% admit that they have bought a lot of unplanned things because they could not pass them, the survey shows.
Among the respondents, 29% bought only the necessary things that could not be bought online. Compared to neighboring countries, Latvians have bought more impulsively – 35% in Lithuania and 39% in Estonia indicate that they have only bought planned goods that could not be purchased remotely.
Residents under the age of 40 have been the most active in shopping in stores, while the survey shows that they have been more careful or bought only what they need – over the age of 40.
44% have not yet been shopping, but 10% of them indicate that they plan to do so, and another 4% admit that shopping will be a reward for sitting at home, and interestingly, this is most often acknowledged by residents over the age of 50. In Lithuania and Estonia, shopping is perceived as a reward for sitting at home by a small proportion – 1% of respondents.
In total, after the opening of all non-food stores, 58% of the population in Lithuania and 59% in Estonia have already made a purchase, according to a survey.
“Calculating how much money has been spent on things that are not used at home, we see that impulsive and pointless purchases are more than we originally imagined. How to balance income with expenditure is one of the biggest problems. says Jānis Mūrnieks, Head of Citadele’s Personal Services Department.
The research agency Norstat conducted a survey of the population of the Baltic States in June, surveying at least 1,000 people aged 18 to 74 in each country.
