Living in the United States has its perks. If you want to brush your teeth, you can buy a toothbrush. If you outgrow your pants, you can shop for a new pair. If you need a soy latte and a Twinkie, you can get those pretty easily, too.

America is definitely "the land of plenty," and the statistics that follow offer a glimpse of how many goods U.S. consumers use every day and how much they spend on them. The numbers may surprise you.

Americans spend $14 billion annually on denim pants.

1. Movie Tickets -- 3.8 million

If the average cost of a movie is $7, Americans spend about $26.6 million a day at movie theaters. Take that number times 365, and the industry rakes in $9.7 billion annually, which doesn't include profits from popcorn, soda sales, or DVDs.

2. Greeting Cards -- 19.2 million

There's a card for every occasion -- heck, there's a card for occasions you didn't even know existed! Between birthday, holiday, and "just because" cards, Americans show loved ones they care by spending $7.5 billion a year on greeting cards.

3. Denim Jeans -- 641,000 pairs

Since Levi Strauss invented blue jeans in 1873, Americans have loved the fashionable pants. Whether you're buying a pair of generic jeans at a discount store or plunking down $300 for designer denim, the blue-jeans industry is big business in the United States. Today, the average price of a pair of jeans comes to about $60, which means Americans spend about $38.5 million on denim pants every day, or $14 billion annually.

4. Domestic Beer Kegs -- 975,000

Where there's a big celebration, or a bar, there are kegs of beer. Kegs of premium beer can get into the $200 range, but we're talking about good ol' American macro-brews. These average $60 per keg, so Americans spend about $58.5 million on them. Consumers down around 356 million kegs per year, which works out to more than $21 billion per year.
