The Coresight Research weekly US Consumer Survey Insights series provides a unique weekly 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, we assess our monthly metrics on the expected impact of tariffs, and perceptions of, and responses to, inflation.

The latest data in this report are from our survey conducted on July 7, 2025.

Data in this research report are our latest proprietary survey findings, which include:

• Whether consumers expect tariffs to impact them personally/the economy negatively or positively
• Concerns and perceived benefits around new tariffs, and any changes to shopping behaviors as a result of new tariffs
• Consumers’ perceptions of inflation, and its impact on their grocery and nongrocery shopping behaviors
• Consumers’ expectations for the economy overall and for their personal financial situation
• Which retailers consumers have bought food and nonfood products from in the last two weeks

Companies mentioned in this research report include: Aldi, Amazon, Costco, Dollar General, Kroger, Target, Walmart
