Numerator conducted a survey of over 10,000 consumers in April and released the results in a report, New Realities & Routines, focused on the financial reality of post-pandemic life, and the changes in routine and habits Americans have had to make in order to account for inflation.

市場研究機(jī)構(gòu)Numerator在4月對一萬多名消費(fèi)者進(jìn)行了一項(xiàng)調(diào)查，并發(fā)布了調(diào)查報(bào)告《新現(xiàn)實(shí)與日�！�。該報(bào)告關(guān)注新冠疫情暴發(fā)后美國人的財(cái)務(wù)現(xiàn)狀以及受通膨影響而被迫改變的日常行為和習(xí)慣。

One startling statistic to come from the report shows that approximately 95 percent of US households admit they are making changes to their purchasing habits to account for inflation rates. Though to differing degrees, essentially everyone is hit by the rise in prices in everything from a gallon of milk to gas, rent prices, and baby formula.

報(bào)告中的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，高達(dá)95%左右的美國家庭表示，他們正在改變購物習(xí)慣，以應(yīng)對通貨膨脹。從一加侖牛奶到汽油、房租和嬰兒配方奶粉，盡管程度不同，但基本上每個(gè)人的生活都受到了物價(jià)上漲的沖擊。

Four in 10 people who responded said that they expect inflation, and the impact of the rise in prices, to worsen over the next few months.

40%的受訪者表示，他們認(rèn)為未來幾個(gè)月通脹和物價(jià)上漲的影響將進(jìn)一步惡化。

Approximately half of those surveyed said that they’ve stocked up on essentials and have been using coupons and discounts more over recent months to afford groceries. An even higher percentage of consumers reported they would be adopting these methods in the upcoming months to cut down on their expenses.

約一半的受訪者表示，他們已經(jīng)囤積了必需品，近幾個(gè)月來他們在購買食品雜貨時(shí)使用了更多優(yōu)惠券和折扣。更多消費(fèi)者表示，他們將在未來幾個(gè)月內(nèi)通過使用這些優(yōu)惠來削減開支。

66 percent of people said they were cutting back on “non-essential” spending. While “non-essential” can mean different things for each family, 59 percent of people said they plan to cut back on non-essential foods, 54 percent said they’d limit their clothing, 48 percent said they’d cut back on recreational activities, and 42 percent said topping, and some said they would reduce their travel to help make their money go further.
