Abstract
As a result of a long lasting recession in Hungary, households are forced to face qualitative and quantitative restrictions on food consumption. This paper presents the results of a cluster analysis that was carried out on the basis of price-quality and time factors. The analysis identifies seven consumer groups. The relevant segments are discussed and compared.
