>>Survey Finds Financing Groceries On The Rise
(Undated) -- New data from Lending Tree shows a growing number of Americans relying on loans to buy groceries. A survey of two-thousand consumers ages 18 to 79 found that half reported using credit to help cover the cost of food. Lending Tree said 25-percent of those surveyed said they used buy now, pay later loans to buy groceries. The survey also found a seven-percent increase in those who made late payments on a buy now, pay later loans in the last year.
