This statistic shows the U.S. self-reported consumer spending on a monthly basis from 2008 to 2015. The survey is conducted through daily telephone interviews among approximately 30,000 adults per month in the U.S. The graph shows the 30-day average for each month to depict an annual trend. In January 2008, the average daily spending of Americans amounted to 97 U.S. dollars.

(in U.S. dollars)
Gallup's Consumer Spending measure is calculated from responses to a basic question asking Americans each day to estimate the amount of money they spent "yesterday," excluding the purchase of a home or an automobile, or normal household bills. The result is a real-time indicator of discretionary retail spending, fluctuations in which are sensitive to shifts in the economic environment.
Data over time has been taken from the monthly gallup consumer spending updates.
