First It Was Toilet Paper, Now It’s Hair Color. Check Your Bank Account
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon told TODAY Show on Friday that consumers have been panic buying over the past few weeks due to the Coronavirus.
Consumer buying patterns shifted from week to week with the first week of quarantine showing people buying cleaning products, soaps and sanitizer.
During the second week it was toilet paper, the third and fourth week consumers settled in, turning their focus to home cooked meals with spiral hams and baking yeast flying off the shelves.
The fifth week proved that Americans were in need of haircuts and hair coloring products. Hair clippers rose by 166 percent while hair color rose 23 percent.
The IRS sent out a tweet Saturday to let Americans know that the first wave of stimulus payments were deposited into taxpayers’ bank accounts who use direct deposit over the weekend.
