A new NCSolutions consumer sentiment survey finds that almost nine out of 10 consumers (86 percent) are worried about the impact the newly imposed tariffs could have on their grocery bills. The survey of 1,064 U.S. adult consumers was conducted between April 3 and April 6. Almost a third describe themselves as “extremely concerned” about the potential for rising prices. At the top of the list of imported foods and beverages that respondents were most concerned about were coffee and tea (49 percent); cheese (41 percent); and bananas (36 percent). Almost half (46 percent) said that potential prices hikes would cause them to spend less at the supermarket, with 39 percent saying that they would switch to private label or store brand products in order to save money. In addition, more than four out of 10 respondents (44 percent) said they feel pessimistic about the health of the economy right now. To find out more about the survey, contact [email protected].
