PREMIER Lara Giddings has been roundly criticised on the Mercury's website and Facebook page for suggesting Tasmanians need to spend their savings in local stores to help boost the economy.
On Tuesday Ms Giddings urged all Tasmanians who could to get out and spend up big this Christmas.
"There are many Tasmanians out there that can afford to get out there and spend," Ms Giddings said.
"Stop sitting on all the savings and start spending in our shops and helping to get our retail industry back up and going again."
But Mercury readers said there was no money in the bank for such big spending sprees.
Dozens of comments were left on both sites suggesting the Premier's comments were way off the mark.
Most suggested paying their ever-growing bills was their priority this Christmas.
"Maybe if the power was 50 per cent less, like a few years ago, and I was not paying for a water meter I could afford to spend that money in the shops," Gavin Jackson, of Hobart, said on the website.
