Re: Frugal living specific to certain states?
Here are my findings:
Looks like most everyone uses coupons ( I am sure so more regularly than others).
Coupon Facts
76% of the United States population uses coupons.
Shoppers saved nearly $3 billion last year by using coupons.
The typical coupon was worth $1.00 savings in 2005.
Coupon users report an average of 11.5% savings on their grocery bill with coupons.
Manufacturers offered more than $300 billion in coupon savings in 2005.
Coupon Use by Geographic Region for 2000
New England 82%
East Central 81.2%
West Central 82.1%
Southeast 76.2%
Middle Atlantic 75.4%
Pacific 73.5%
West Central 82.1%
Income---% using coupons
under $25,000 74%
$25-50,000 80%
$50-$75,000 77%
$75,000+ 76%
NOTE: Coupon shoppers are consumers who report that they either always, sometimes or rarely use manufacturer’s coupons for grocery, household and healthcare items at supermarkets, mass merchants and drug chains.
Information from: Coupon Council
It varies from state to state but the national per capita personal income is $33,050. To check out your state's it can be found at http://www.bea.gov/bea/regional/bearfacts/statebf.cfm
If you compare the national average with your own state's I think you will most find there is not much difference. To then compare from state to state you can use the US Census Bureau to see some of the cost of living expenses. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/index.html
Then you can go a step further an use a cost of living calculator to compare two states/cities side by side.
All very interesting and I am not sure if proves or disproves my point.
