Half of US adults stress over grocery costs, affecting all ages but notably impacting women and Hispanic adults.

A recent AP-NORC poll shows that 50% of US adults find grocery costs a "major" source of stress, while 33% see it as a "minor" source. This financial worry affects all age groups and is particularly high among women and Hispanic adults, who also stress over income, savings, healthcare, housing costs, and debts. About 40% of Americans under 45 use 'buy now, pay later' services to manage expenses.
