Key findings from the latest study:
- Areas where consumers have noticed price increases include groceries (91%), gas (84%), home improvement and building supplies (82%) and OTC medications (72%).
- Price increases have resulted in consumers buying certain products less often (45%), buying only when on sale or with a coupon (29%), buying a cheaper brand (25%), buying generic or store brands (22%), and buying larger pack sizes or bulk sizes (15%).
- Price increases of OTC medicines have 51% percent of respondents buying generic or store brands of pain medication, with 46% buying generic or store brand cough and cold medication.
