TORONTO, Dec. 8, 2016 /CNW/ -- The overwhelming stress of the holidays has Canadians saying "Bah Hum Bug," this season and cutting back when it comes to budget. According to a recent survey from savings destination RetailMeNot.ca, over half the country (58 per cent) are worried about money and 54 per cent view the holidays as a financial burden. Wise to the holiday hidden costs, Canadians appear to be taking a festively frugal attitude this season with 85 per cent believing the holidays have become too materialistic and spending an all-time low of $946 compared to previous years.
Holding on Holiday Spending
Compared to 2015, Canadians will be spending much less this year on key items, including:
Fifty-two per cent of the country feel bad they cannot spend more on their loved ones during the holidays and so to try and save up ahead of the holidays, 41 per cent will be pinching their pennies at the cost of their social life. Of those planning to cut back 69 per cent will give up meals at restaurants, 55 per cent will cut out take out and 33 per cent will give up socializing all together.
"With Canadians cutting back on spending this holiday season, it is more important than ever to find clever ways to maximize every dollar," says Sara Skirboll, Shopping & Trends Expert for RetailMeNot.ca. "You can still find ways to enjoy yourself without breaking the bank – try searching for a coupon or promo code to your favourite restaurant and have that night out!"
Savvy Spenders – Men vs Women
Men could take note from the ladies when it comes to maximizing your dollar this holiday season. The majority of women (55 per cent) have already begun holiday shopping, starting at least three months in advance with 83 per cent looking to leverage deals. On the other hand, most men plan to start two to three weeks ahead, resulting in nearly half (47 per cent) paying full price and the majority (54 per cent) buying last minute gifts.

About the survey:
From September 30th to October 1st, 2016 an online survey was conducted among 1,517 randomly selected Canadian adults who are Angus Reid Forum panelists. The margin of error—which measures sampling variability—is +/- 2.5%, 19 times out of 20. The results have been statistically weighted according to education, age, gender and region (and in Quebec, language) Census data to ensure a sample representative of the entire adult population of Canada. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding.
