Women spend over eight years of their lives shopping

The average woman makes 301 shopping excursions each year, spending around 400 hours buying clothing, books, food, and toiletries. They multiplied that by 63 shopping years and discovered that ladies spend 8.5 years, or 3,148 days of their lives shopping.

Here's the breakdown of the amount of time we spend shopping for specific retail items each year:

  • Clothes — 30 times, total 100 hours and 48 minutes
  • Shoes — 15 times, 40 hours and 30 minutes
  • Accessories — 18 times, 29 hours and 31 minutes
  • Food — 84 times, 94 hours and 55 minutes
  • Books — 57 times, 31 hours and 21 minutes
  • Toiletries — 27 times, 17 hours and 33 minutes
  • Gifts — 19 times, 36 hours and 17 minutes
  • Window Shopping — 51 times, 48 hours and 51 minutes
Do these numbers ring true for you, or do you feel you spend less (or even more!) time hitting the shops?
