Buying Habits

# Day 13

Today, I had done some research about the buying habit in Manchester and Salford.

#Grocery
I found out that they always go for bulk buying and save money, especially grocery. This situation had conjure up visions of super-sized portion, but bulk buying isn't about quantity buy thrift. For them, bulk buying means buying in large quantities from bix-box stores like Costco and Walmart, or Supermarket like Unicorn, A Market and Hannaford, in an effort to save money. Most of the people there preferring go for grocery stores/supermarket weekly (mostly in weekend), and they will buy all the necessary grocers for coming one week.

# Clothing
Fast fashion brands (like Primark, H&M, Topshop, Zara and River Island) are often be the first choice for Mancunian. This is because Mancunian are quite concern about the quality and updated fashion. Other than that, Vintage Clothing is a massive student trend right now. It's easy for students to buy cheap, good quality clothes nowadays.

Other than that, I also found out that there is also a modern day shopping habits there, which is online shopping. Based on research, the BBC has reported that 74 percent of the adult population shop online, and nearly half of the purchase are clothing.

Manchester students are in a prime position now to look as stylish as they like, without having to struggle around the Trafford Cente at the weekend.
