Men shop less,spend more

NORTH SHORE women spend more time fash- ion shopping, but men spend more money on

clothes.

: By NEWS STAFF

According to a_ recent fushion survey done by Capilano Services, North and West Vancouver women on the average make 100,124 shopping trips a month ver- sus North Shore men who make 38,856 shopping trips per month.

But the total amount of money women spent during their clothes shopping trips amounted to $7,509,277, while the men passed them by — by $261,863 — with a grand total of $7,771,140.

These figures are based on an industry spokesperson's Statistics that women spend an average of $75 per clothes shopping trip, whereas men spend an average $200 per shopping trip.

The statistics confirm that women are definitely the shoppers in the family, who are willing to make several trips to che store to pick up the perfect colored blouse for a favorite skirt one day, and buy matching shoes on sale another day.

Men, on the other hand, are more inclined to one-

‘stop shopping where they

will buy a pair of pants, a new shirt, a sweater and a tie all at once, and not have to return to the store for another three months.

Statistics from the survey showed that while 30 per cent of the women had not made a fashion shopping trip within a month, double that percentage of men had not made a fashion trip.

About 48 per cent of the women interviewed had shopped between one and three times in the last month, while only 32 per cent of the men had done the same.

Close to 18 per cent of the women had made between four and 15 fashion shopp- ing trips in one month, while only 3% per cent of men did the same.

There are 53,300 households on the North Shore, so the statistics average one male and one female to every household.

The actual survey for women was dane to 433 househoids where 270 women responded, and for men to 394 households where 348 responded.
