The Coresight Research weekly US Consumer Survey Insights series takes a regular temperature check on US consumers’ behaviors and sentiment, based on exclusive proprietary survey data.

This week, in addition to our usual weekly findings on consumer sentiment, activities and shopping patterns (with the latest data from our July 29, 2024, survey), we dive into consumers’ responses to inflation as well as the state of consumers’ financial health.

Data in this research report are our latest proprietary survey findings on:

• Consumers’ perceptions of inflation, and its impact on grocery and nongrocery spending
• Consumers’ financial health—how long they could cover bills after losing their income, and unsecured debt as a proportion of monthly household income
• Activities that consumers have done in the past two weeks
• Where consumers have bought food and nonfood products from in the last two weeks
• What consumers have bought in-store and online in the last two weeks
• Consumers’ expectations for the economy overall and for their own personal financial situation

Companies mentioned in this research report include: Amazon, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Temu, Walmart
