Gallup's consumer spending measure tracks the average dollar amount
Americans report spending or charging on a daily basis, not counting the
purchase of a home, motor vehicle, or normal household bills.
Respondents are asked to reflect on the day prior to being surveyed and
results are presented here in both a 3-day and 14-day rolling average.
Results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500
national adults; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points.
