Q1 Q2 Q3
Total Sample Size 1,467 1,072 1,141
# of respondents who purchased cookware 351 374 378
# of respondents who purchased 1 or 2 cookware items
421 386 340
Online surveys were conducted with primary grocery shoppers in the U.S. in April (April 9 -12); July (July 29 - 31); and October (Oct. 3 - 6).
The primary grocer shopper is the person in the household who is responsible for purchasing more than 50% of the household's groceries.
The research is conducted with primary grocery shoppers because they are typically the primary shopper for housewares products in addition to grocery products and are also likely to be the person responsible for food preparation for the household.
This does NOT mean that the survey respondents who purchased cookware in the third quarter bought them from a grocery store.
Respondents were screened based on past quarter purchase behavior. They had to have purchased cookware, bakeware, and/or kitchen tools or gadgets either for themselves/their household or to give as a gift in the previous quarter.
The base for most of the bar charts is the number of respondents who answered the battery of questions about the first and second cookware items they purchased in Q3.
In the cases where the base (N) is different, the definition of the base is shown in the title of the bar or pie chart.
