It’s cheaper for Aussies to go to the local pub than to stay there
It’s cheaper to go to the local pub than to stay indoors, according to a new report.
Tyro’s Eat Pay Love report shows it costs the average Australian more than $90 a week to stay in the country.
This figure took into account payments for streaming services, bills, takeaways and drinks, with one in eight Australians paying more than $200 a week to stay indoors.
Nearly 60 percent of Australians also said visiting their ‘local’ community made them feel part of their community.
According to the report, the generally accepted average price of a beer was $8.20, with 12 percent of Aussies happy to pay more than $12 for a beer (26 percent of whom are Gen X).
However, almost 40 percent of Aussies are using QR codes to order drinks so they don’t have to have an awkward conversation, with more than a third of Aussies less likely to shout drinks at their friends than last year.
The report also shows Australians are willing to cut back on other purchases to hit the pub, with 21 percent willing to wait before buying new clothes, shoes and makeup.
However, more than half of respondents say they order less expensive meals to save money, while one in three Aussies are still willing to pay more for a meal out.

Coffee is another thing Australians like to spend on, with the average person happy to spend more than $5 on coffee.
