A new study shows 59% of people are worried about the rising cost of living.
The report by Paypal, also shows 66% are cutting back on eating out.
A further 32% will host friends for drinks rather than going out to the pub.
However, Louise Kelly of Paypal says there are certain reliables Irish people won't sacrifice:
"Priorities people are not prepared to forego are our health and our treats. So close to a quarter of people intend to spend on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, whether that be through a gym membership or healthy food options, and a similar amount, 23% will continue to buy coffee and drinks and snacks from cafes and local coffee shop."
