PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect shopping behavior nationwide, consumers still saw the beginning of the New Year as a chance to recommit to a new round of weight-loss and health-related resolutions, albeit without the same level of commitment demonstrated going into 2020, per buyer intelligence leader Catalina, which compared retail sales on a dollar basis for the first three weeks of 2021 to sales during the last half of December 2020, as well as to the same period a year ago. Recent grocery data shows pandemic's impact on New Year's resolutions. Sales of weight management and health-related products, while still strong, have declined compared to a year ago. Meanwhile, fewer adults appear to be committed to "Dry January."
