It's no secret that Memorial weekend costs quite a few more dollars than your average weekend. A new survey found that the average person spends about $225 per person over the holiday.

Here's a breakdown of where your dollars are going:

1. About $70 goes toward your food.
2. About 55 percent of people spend about $55 on alcohol.

So, where does the rest go you ask?

The rest of the money goes to buying stuff...shoes, clothes, things for your house. There are tons of stores that have Memorial weekend deals.

It's alright though, because after all this weekend is like a mini vacation.
