US Survey Update: How Consumers Spent and Plan To Spend Stimulus Checks (Full Report)

What's Inside

Coresight Research’s August 5 survey provides a detailed update on US consumers’ behaviors, concerns and expectations amid the coronavirus crisis, with a focus on the implications for US retail.

This week, we discuss a number of survey findings, covering the following:

  • How consumers have spent, and plan to spend, their stimulus checks—with a focus on the prioritization of basic financial obligations versus discretionary retail spending
  • What activities respondents have done in the past two weeks and what they expect to do in the next two weeks
  • Whether respondents are currently avoiding public areas or travel—and which types of places or travel they are avoiding

We also provide trended data for a number of our regular weekly questions on spending and shopping:

  • Whether respondents are buying more or less of any retail categories as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak and, if so, which types of products
  • Whether US shoppers are making more purchases online and, if so, which categories

The findings provide an update to our previous reports, which were based on surveys undertaken on July 29, July 22, July 15, July 8, July 1, June 24, June 17, June 10, June 3, May 27, May 20, May 13, May 6, April 29, April 22, April 15, April 8, April 1, March 25 and March 17–18.
