Mr. and Mrs. UK Average are throwing out the everyday and trading up to finer things in life. Consumers are declaring an end to all things ordinary.
i cannot figure out "the everyday and trading up to finer things in life". Could any native tell me the object of Verb phrase "throwing out"?
Thanks a million.

Hi jasonlulu_2000,
The everyday (object) is the ordinary. The average consumer is trading up -- from the ordinary things in life, to the finer things in life. Apparently, consumers are beginning to buy the more expensive items (finer things in life).
