You’ll Spend $225 on Food and Booze Over the Holiday Weekend

Yet another holiday weekend where the true meaning will be drowned out by sloshing beer mugs and the smell of burning animal flesh.

A survey by PRweb found that the average weekend warrior will spend $225 this Memorial Day on everything from shoes to booze.

With only 5% of people going out to eat, that means the BBQs will be firing up as family and friends gather. 51% plan on eating at home, 44% will throw a variety of meat on the fire and throw back some cold ones. An average of $70 spent on food and $55 on alcoholic beverages.

Looking for a deal? Memorial Day sales will coax $100 out of the average person's wallet this weekend.

34% plan to buy clothes, 22% are buying something for the house, 21% are buying shoes and 12% are looking for something at the electronics store.

Don't forget what the Memorial Day weekend is all about. Raise a red solo cup in honor of our nations veterans!
