East Dallasites beat the heat in 2017 in many ways, including spending
$1.6 million
on ice cream.
We found healthy ways to stay cool, like spending
$8.4 million
on fresh fruit and
$350,000
on frozen fruit and fruit juice.
We also put down over
$1 million
worth of bottled water and paid nearly
$2 million
on refrigerators.
But most of us have central air and heat, and we only spent
$127,000
on window unit air conditioners.
