Food Spending and Income

Anthony E. Gallo

Food Review/ National Food Review, 1981, vol. NFR 16, issue 01

Abstract: The Nation's consumers sharply increased their expenditures for food prepared at home while cutting back on restaurant dining during the spring quarter of 1981. This spending pattern was a repeat of the first half of 1980. Weakened consumer purchasing power appears to explain much of this spending pattern; however, food-at home prices fell between the winter and spring quarters, while restaurant prices rose at about the same pace as general inflation.
