What's Inside

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, we dive into findings on off-price and dollar-store shopping specifically. Uncover shopping rates, popular retailers and the most bought categories in these sectors.
