Comparing your weekend/weekday buying habits & lifestyle
1/12/2009 at 1:50 PM
In chatting with a couple of local busineses, the topic of Brandonites' shopping habits came up. One in particular noted a very significant difference in the type of business they draw on weekdays compared to weekends. Even though after a 7-day week they were a successful business, this same person compared things to Winnipeg where they were previously, and noted that things are actually quite different in terms of what days are more busy.
I thought it would be interesting to get an idea of how we spend our weekends in Brandon and at the same time get an idea of which of the following we're more (or less) likely to do on weekends/weekdays:
- Dine out at an eat-in restaurant
- Eat from a pickup/fast food restaurant
- buy groceries
- go out for coffee with a friend
- make a major furniture purchase
- make a major electronics purchase
- shop for a car
- go out to a movie (or rent a movie)
- browse the web
- listen to the radio
- read the newspaper
Anyone's thoughts, either on yourself specifically or your general perceptions would be very interesting to hear.
