The Buzz of Scoring a Good Bargain Lasts 216 Minutes

Everybody loves a bargain, for about three and a half hours.  There’s a new survey out on everyday expenses, and it found that many people get an actual BUZZ when they score a good deal.

The average “post-purchase glow” lasts:  216 minutes.  Or three hours and 36 minutes, since no one likes doing math on a bargain buzz.

About 1 in 3 people feel the buzz longer than that, especially if the bargain is on Happy Hour drinks and 10% of people say that it boosts their mood for the entire day.

60% of people believe they can find a deal on anything, and 54% say they’re the best bargain hunter they know.  And people aren’t shy talking about it either.  59% of people like to brag about getting a great price to their partner, friends, and extended family.

So what counts as a “good deal?”  On average, it’s saving at least 36%.
