While 10k can be a good sample size, only selecting a couple of European countries for research does make the “Europeans” headline misleading.
“People in 10 European countries” would be better, but the results vary wildly by country. A country-oriented title would probably be better.

Perhaps it’s my Dutchness showing, but I’ve always looked for discounts and visited discount stores, even when I was much better off financially. I’m not getting scammed by shit companies, going to discount stores has nothing to do with my purchasing power.

Ah didn’t see the breakdown. Incredibly leading questions and highly charges but seems legit
