Irish or not, Americans are happy to pull out their pocketbooks for Saint Paddy’s Day. An estimated 125 million Americans celebrated St. Patrick’s Day this year, according to the National Retail Federation’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Spending survey, which found consumers expected to spend an average of $35.37 per person, down a bit from $36.52 in 2015. Total spending was estimated at $4.4 billion.
