I consider it as result of communist past and still low wages but it is nice to be on the top.

Poland, the winning nation, has the highest shopping IQ, where shoppers rarely spend impulsively and are particularly open to alternative brands

1) Poland
2) France
3) The Czech Republic
4) Germany
5) Sweden

Shopping IQ, this is not one of ur better topics to promote Poland Łukasz. Poles don't splash out as much because they have learned to be more selective in their purchases. They don't have as much disposable income. Life isn't exactly cheap here in comparison to salaries. I mean, when u take into consideration all the little costs that u incur along the way.

Shopping IQ, what a nonsense!! Marketing BS

Loose? I'm wearing a belt ;) My sexual habits, sorry, not loose either :)

I honestly couldn't care less about the shopping habits of those from the UK. I'd rather watch paint dry quite frankly.

I'd prefer to focus on sth meaningful

Me too.

It's the first time I hear about "shopping IQ". It sounds silly. It's good that we are good at it. :)

Yeah, I'm glad that Poland came top. It shows that people make responsible purchases and are aware that their spending power is somewhat more limited. I like the attitude amongst many that only the staples are necessary and that there is no need to flash the cash too often.

SHOPPING IQ

Does this mean Poles are discriminating shoppers when they buy Ogurki?...Her's a 'discriminating Pole ' with a 'high shopper IQ' who did her research and is now enjoying top notch pizza:


She is from the Krakow area.

My mum was amazed at just how often my GF ate pickles. Round the clock pickle munching. That was the first thing on the shopping list. Much cheaper here tho, u can pick up a big jar for 3.50zł

Is this Gary Sinise of humour or just sense of humour?

Poles are so hard to measure on this one. Poles tend to have this polarity, more visible in the transition from autumn/fall into winter. Some have GSOH and others diabolical

i take it a pole made this "IQ" test, granted that real IQ tests dont prove a huge amount i wonder how much validity can be placed on this one other than poles have had to be cautious when spending hence more practical sense when choosing caviar de sioux or their local fish, its a tricky choice..

My table isn't about shopping. It has been made by British scientists.

WB is right, u can't spend what u don't have. Unless u r on wads of credit. It's like calling Scots stingy when we are just thrifty, u can always turn it on its head.

Siegfriend, some Poles have a lot, some don't, like anywhere. But generally they have less. Bank adverts will be there regardless, people fall into the credit and borrowing trap too easily. Set a sprat to catch a makerel and all that.

U r right tho, Poles save for a rainy day (for the black hour in Polish).
