These States are Spending the Most on Decor, Meals This Christmas
by Lizzie Stewart on Dec 20, 2023 0
Ok moms, I can’t be the only one who is excited about Christmas next week but also wincing at the sheer amount of money I’ve already spent this holiday season. The sad thing is, it’s not even on the presents.. It’s the amount of bottle brush trees and nutcrackers that I just HAD to have (and yes, they were on sale so I convinced myself it was fine.) But as I’ve been seeing articles about the cost of gifts and how much we’re planning to spend this year, I stumbled upon a survey that caught my attention and made me feel not so bad about my purchasing habits.
Rainbow Restoration surveyed about 2,000 Americans and asked them to estimate how much they spend on decorations and how much they anticipate they’ll spend on meals next week.
The Top 5 States That Spend The Most on Decor:
- Maryland
- New Mexico
- Oklahoma
- Kentucky
- Tennessee
The Top 5 States That Plan to Spend The Most on Meals:
- Mississippi
- Alabama
- California
- Virginia
- Tennessee
It looks like the big spenders are in Tennessee! The survey found the national spending average for decor was $147 and for meals it was $187.
