Spend for/on

[Erbab]

Hello!

I know that we use ''spend money on something.''

But this sentence ,I have met on the Internet, is confused me.

''Students in big cities have to spend more for shopping''

I am suspicious that this sentence may not be true. Spend more on shopping, or spend money on shopping is more grammatical, isn't it?

"Students in big cities have to spend more on [their] shopping."

You suspect that the sentence is not correct, not that it's not true.

I understand, sorry. Sometimes my native language causes me not to use correct words. Thanks for your correction and your answer.

Hello!

I know that we use ''spend money on something (no full stop here)'' but I saw this sentence [STRIKE]I have met[/STRIKE] on the Internet (no comma here) and [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] it confused me.

''Students in big cities have to spend more for shopping.''

I [STRIKE]am suspicious[/STRIKE] suspect that this sentence may not be [STRIKE]true[/STRIKE] correct. "Spend more on shopping" or "spend money on shopping" (you suggested the same preposition twice there) is more grammatical, isn't it?

See my corrections above.
