Abstract: 

The aim of this study is to analyse impacts of a decreased income on food purchasing and nutrition behaviour. Mixed-methods were used including data of the second German National Nutrition Survey (n=7490) and of qualitative interviews (n=14) with persons of single and multigenerational households who had a decrease of income. Results show thta respondents try to economize their purchases by increased planning and abandonments. They spend less and buy cheaper foods. More studies in home economics are required to get a deeper insight on scolo-economical and behavioural patterns and to distinguish types of coping-strategies for tailored education programs.
