Abstract
This article addresses consumption of food products in seniors’ households. The primary goal is to analyse their food expenditure, shopping frequency and the key factors affecting their decisions in this regard. The analysis is based on the questionnaire survey conducted by the author in 2014–2015 among people aged 65+ in Poland. The structure of the article is as follows. After a synthetic discussion of the research methodology, assumptions, and the characteristics of the research sample, a very broad theoretical outline of food consumption in seniors’ households is presented. Further, the focus is on examining food consumption in the seniors’ households surveyed, shopping frequency, and the key determinants taken into consideration by people aged 65+ when deciding to buy food products.
