Why is it important?

The study may help consumers, especially those who reside in low SES areas, to develop food-buying strategies, which may enable them to reduce food costs, make wiser purchase decisions and reduce shopping. Food brands, marketers and grocery stores could use the findings to target consumers in different SES areas more effectively.

Perspectives

No previous study has considered the use of shopping lists and advertisements in different SES areas in a developing country.
