It is noteworthy that despite rising prices for goods and services, many consumers continue to spend money on items necessary for the celebrations, such as snacks and cooking ingredients, alcoholic beverages, and of course, special offers on merchandise. Consumers are also actively buying souvenirs and memorabilia of their favorite teams.

The main spending categories include organizing home parties, purchasing food and drinks, and entertainment such as television and online streaming. Additionally, some viewers intend to visit bars and restaurants, which also adds to the overall expenditure. Traditionally, consumer spending leading up to the Super Bowl includes preparations for parties, purchases of new clothing, and merchandise to support their teams.

Thus, the upcoming Super Bowl this year promises to be not only a sporting event but also an economic one, contributing to a rise in overall consumption across the country.
