Hi,

I'm researching for my University dissertation on how the recession has impacted upon ethical consumerism.

If you have the time please complete my questionnaire, it would be greatly appreciated.

As I'm fairly new, I cant post links yet. Also, I'm not sure where I should post this information to get the best results, apologies if its in the wrong place.

Thanks

    Sure you've already seen them, but these Co-op reports look relevant

    I have cut my shopping bill in half. Shop online mostly preventing me from those "extra" spends and buy in bulk when I see bargains (i.e. 6 x shower gels for £4 which will keep me going for at least 6 months if not more!!).
    Debt at worst: £33000 (Feb 2011). Present debt: £25610 (Apr 2012)
    Lloyds old (22.4%) = 560 (Dec 2012)
  • Food bill had gone up by £25 quid a week now we seek out all offers ie 3-2 etc or on offer items got cupboards full of kenco/shampoo/beans/soup/plenty of cereals etc, the odd frozen veg deals. Buy mainly fresh &freeze ir,it is cheaper do not buy ready meals or junk food . grocery's now better than pre cuts etc

    Took a look at your survey - you might like to change 13-14 or at least put in some sort of explanation for them. Otherwise they seem overly wooly ;)
