Trend Report: Families Eat Much More Fast Food Than General Population
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 03, 2013 -- BluePromoCode.com, a leading marketplace for coupons and deals, today announced the results of a newly commissioned study. The study was sent to 100 adults with kids living at home and asked questions about their shopping and eating habits.
Highlights of the findings include:
• Families are eating fast food more often than – 29% eat out two or more times per week
• Men are not eating healthier – only 52% reported healthier eating habits in the last year; 78% for women
• The top reason families buy fast food is because it saves them time (68%)
• Nearly half think organic foods are too expensive and 24% don’t believe the health benefits are worth the extra cost
• 14% have purchased groceries online
• Wealthier families purchase groceries online more often – 24% with HH incomes over $150k
The BluePromoCode study shows that 29% of families are eating out more than once per week yet a recent study by Monmouth University showed that only 15% of US adults are eating out more than once per week. The study found that “saving time” was the most popular reason for eating fast food and that 14% have bought groceries online, another indication of being stretched for time.
“Families are the ones that are the most time and financially-constrained,” said Michael Quoc, CEO of BluePromoCode. “Buying groceries online and using readily-available coupon codes can be a big help to families at both ends.”
The study also asked about shopping habits for organic foods with nearly 50% stating that they’re “too expensive.” Similarly one-in-four don’t believe the health benefits were worth the extra cost and 10% didn’t believe organic foods were really “organic”.
