Believe it or not, 58 million Americans are apparently spending more money while stuck at home than they did before coronavirus lockdowns began.

Here are the seven more popular "nonessential purchases" people are making amid the pandemic:

  1. Entertainment (29%)
  2. Alcohol (23%)
  3. Clothing (15%)
  4. Beauty products (13%)
  5. Electronics (12%)
  6. Toys (5%)
  7. Exercise equipment (3%)
