Americans Spend An Average Of 54 Hours A Year Shopping Online

When you find a great deal on something, are you excited to tell your friends about it? You’re not alone, as 42% of people say they like to brag to their buddies about how much they saved on shopping, a new survey finds.

According to the poll of 2-thousand U.S. adults:

• They don’t want to keep their saving spots a secret, as eight in 10 are so excited about scoring a good deal, they want to tell others where they can find it.
• More than half (52%) of respondents admit their online shopping habit has increased over the last year.
• The average American now spends 62 minutes shopping online every week, which adds up to about 54 hours a year.
• Price is the most important thing for 71% of respondents when shopping online, it’s even more important than the quality of the product (46%).
• To make sure they’re saving as much as possible, 60% of shoppers “always” or “often” look for a promo code or other offer before checking out online.
• If it takes too long to find one, 37% say they won’t go through with the purchase.
• And 53% of those surveyed have items they never pay full price for, they only buy them if they get a deal.
• That kind of dedication to discounts may be why 77% of respondents consider themselves “savvy shoppers.”
• A third (34%) even believe finding deals is their “shopping superpower.”
• To get a good deal, shoppers would be willing to download an app or browser extension (32%), make a “game plan” (26%), shop from multiple devices (26%), set an alarm to remind them to shop (15%) and even wait in line for hours (11%).
