The vast majority of US adults are stressed about grocery costs, an AP-NORC poll finds

UNITED STATES, AUG 4 – A recent AP-NORC poll finds 83% of U.S. adults feel stress over grocery costs, with lower-income groups most affected by rising prices and economic pressures.

  • Last month, the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found that the vast majority of U.S. adults report stress over grocery costs, with about half calling it a major stressor and 33% a minor one.
  • Amid rising prices, other financial burdens such as housing costs, savings shortfalls, and health care, respondents report, especially impacting younger Americans who lack property and significant savings.
  • Users of 'buy now, pay later' services include about 3 in 10 adults purchasing groceries and medical care, with roughly 4 in 10 under age 45 using these plans, the poll reports.
  • Faced with rising grocery costs, many U.S. consumers report changing their lifestyles, such as Shandal LeSure, a Chattanooga, Tennessee, receptionist, who began shopping at less expensive stores.
  • Among households earning less than $30,000 a year, 64% report groceries as a major stressor, while only about 2 in 10 of those in the higher-income group say they have no concern.
