The average woman will spend more than EIGHT YEARS of her life shopping...
















This info comes from onepoll.com and is sooooo interesting,

"Buying household essentials and keeping the family fed and clothed means the typical female shops for a staggering 25,184 hours and 53 mins over a period of 63 years. The research also found women will make 301 individual shopping trips - lasting a total of 399 hours and 46 minutes - per year. A spokesman for OnePoll said: ''Many men seem to think women only shop when they are buying clothes for themselves. ''But they quite often shop for the entire family and that can be incredibly hard work.'' Even the food shop can take over an hour to complete and with 84 food shops a year, women will spend 94 hours and 55 minutes browsing the supermarket. Women also dedicate 90 shopping trips a year to keeping up appearances - shopping for clothes 30 times, shoes 15 times, accessories 18 times and toiletries 27 times."

Holy exhausting ladies!!! Get your hubbies to give you a big hug and kiss for saving them so much money and keeping them fed.
