“…Constraints imposed by lack of time and money meant that shoppers frequently chose convenient, less healthy food options. Price in addition to sensory factors has been shown to influence purchase decisions (8,69) . Similarly, it has been reported that lack of time to prepare and cook foods resulted in smaller intakes of fruit and vegetables (59) .…”

Objective: The present study aimed to examine the role of health in consumers' food purchasing decisions through investigating the nature of people's discourse regarding health while conducting their food shopping. Design: The study employed the think-aloud technique as part of an accompanied shop. All mentions of health and terms relating to health were identified from the data set. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted to examine how health was talked about in relation to people's food choice decisions. Setting: Supermarkets in Dublin, Republic of Ireland and Belfast, Northern Ireland. Subjects: Participants (n 50) were aged over 18 years and represented the main household shopper. Results: Responsibility for others and the perceived need to illicit strict control to avoid 'unhealthy' food selections played a dominant role in how health was talked about during the accompanied shop. Consequently healthy shopping was viewed as difficult and effort was required to make the healthy choice, with shoppers relating to product-based inferences to support their decisions. Conclusions: This qualitative exploration has provided evidence of a number of factors influencing the consideration of health during consumers' food shopping. These results highlight opportunities for stakeholders such as public health bodies and the food industry to explore further ways to help enable consumers make healthy food choices.

“…The NZ SHOP study found that discounts on healthier food resulted in an increase in purchasing of these foods although it did not show a decrease in purchasing of 'less healthy' food (9) . The complexity of food purchasing decisions was demonstrated by Inglis et al in their hypothetical experiment in which women were presented with a scenario where they had 25 % more of their food budget to spend (29) . Low-income women hypothetically chose to increase their spending on both healthy and unhealthy food to a greater extent than high-income women.…”

Objectives: Financial constraint is the underpinning determinant of household food insecurity; however, there has been little research examining the impact that increasing the 'money available' to food-insecure households could have on food purchasing. The main objective of the present study was to examine the effect of additional money (in the form of supermarket vouchers) on food expenditure in food-insecure households with children. Design: A parallel randomized controlled trial with a 4-week baseline phase followed by a 4-week intervention phase. Households were randomized to either receive vouchers (coupons) for 4 weeks or a control group that did not receive any vouchers. Setting: Dunedin, New Zealand. Subjects: Low-income households with children (#18 years) reporting food insecurity (n 214). Conclusions: Providing money via supermarket vouchers to food-insecure households resulted in an increase in overall expenditure on food.

“…Having an adequate income can be a determinant of individuals' consumption of healthy diets (Beydoun, Powell, & Wang, 2008;Brug, 2008;Darmon & Drewnowski, 2008;Hiza et al, 2013;Inglis et al, 2009;Kirkpatrick et al, 2012;Raffensperger et al, 2010). If individuals perceive themselves as having adequate income, then they may spend their money on healthy food.…”

“…Income adequacy, classified as a sociocultural factor by Pender et al (2006), is a commonly studied individual characteristic. Having an adequate income can be a determinant in whether or not individuals consume healthy diets (Brug, 2008;Darmon & Drewnowski, 2008;Inglis, Ball, & Crawford, 2009;Raffensperger et al, 2010). One's level of income and the price of food can affect food choices, dietary behaviors, and the quality of food selected (Carlson & Gould, 1994;Drewnowski & Specter, 2004).…”

“…Since income can be a determinant in whether or not individuals consume healthy diets (Darmon & Drewnowski, 2008;Inglis et al, 2009;Raffensperger et al, 2010), income adequacy, an individual characteristic in the theoretical framework, was measured in this study. The total score on the Economic Adequacy Scale (EAS) measured income adequacy (see Appendix C).…”
