Takeaway fans spend a staggering £51k over a lifetime of treating themselves

SWNS

Takeaway fans spend a staggering £51k over a lifetime of treating themselves, according to research.  A poll of 2,000 adults found those who enjoy a takeaway spend just over £60 a month on getting food delivered.  This adds up, over the average adult’s life expectancy of 80 years, to the whopping sum of £51,035.92 each.  A study of 2,000 adults found those in London and Glasgow are the biggest takeout spenders, shelling out around £23 per person each week.  But 51 per cent of adults claim they can’t fully afford all the takeaways they would ideally like to have.  In response, Asda is waging war on expensive takeaway pizzas, after the Italian delicacy scored high in the poll of Brits' favourite takeaway dishes.

00:49If supermarkets have more options, such as this meal deal,

00:52I would rather take this than go to a takeaway.

00:54But I think the supermarket deals are much better
