Is your gaff spending more or less than this?

The figures reveal that Irish households are spending €845.12 on average which is up 4.3% from 2009-2010. 

While that figure may seem like a lot to some, spending on alcohol and tobacco is down by a whopping 29% to just €28 a week. 

Spending on transport is up by nearly 7% to €124.39, mainly driven by an increase in car purchases.
