| Countries covered: United States “Across the nation, Americans are increasingly unable to stretch their dollars to the next payday as they juggle higher rent, food and energy bills. It's starting to affect middle-income working families as well as the poor, and has reached the point of affecting day-to-day calculations of merchants like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., 7-Eleven Inc. and Family Dollar Stores Inc. Food pantries are reporting severe shortages and reduced government funding at the very time that they are seeing a surge of new people seeking their help. Some say the financial stress is already the worst since the last downturn at the start of this decade.*” Economic benchmarks and news such as this prompted President Bush to authorize economic stimuli in 2008 to help families make ends meet. How have Americans been coping six months later? National Research Network has commissioned this study to determine how American consumers are dealing with today’s soft economy since January 2008 and specifically what tactics they are employing to save money. The following report summarizes the findings of “Consumer Cutbacks in Today’s Soft Economy.” Expect to learn of the latest consumer attitudes and behaviors pertaining to Single-Serve Coffee Consumption, Daily and Subscription Newspaper Purchase, Grocery Buying Strategies, Personal Care Item Consumption, Transportation, Gas Consumption, Telecommuting, Dining and Entertainment Choices, Shopping, Hobbies and Pastimes, Home Improvement, Vacationing and Selling and Buying Items through Yard Sales, eBay and craigslist. |
