Although the Green Bay Packers are not playing in the Super Bowl this year, local supermarkets anticipate a busy weekend as home parties are planned for Sunday. According to the National Retail Federation, the average dollar amount per person in 2022 should come in slightly lower than the record of $88.65 per person set in 2020 when total spending hit $17.2 billion. Tadych’s Marketplace Store Manager Jon Calhoun says many of his departments are a lot busier the closer we get to kick-off.
USA Today reports that U.S. consumers are expected to spend a total of $14.6 billion on food, drinks, apparel, decorations, and other items this Super Sunday.
