It is estimated that consumers are going to spend nearly $2.7 million dollars this St. Patricks Day. The National Retail Federation conducted a survey showing the increase in consumer expenditure. The holiday's popularity has grown over the year helping out restaurants, bars, and retail stores. On St. Patrick's Day the average person should spend about twenty-eight dollars compared to last year's twenty-three dollars.
