Expenditure on fast foods by income groups

The bar graph on expenditure on fast foods by income groups in the UK in 1990 shows that high income group spent the most on Hamburger, above 40 pence per person per week. This is followed by average income group which set aside more than 30 pence a week. When it comes to low income group, the spending fell to below 15 pence per week.

If we look at the figures of Fish and Chips and pizzas, the high income group spared hardly fifty percent of what was used for hamburger. But the difference with regard to average income group did not differ much. It came down to 25 pence. The low income group went with 15 pence.

Finally, let us see how pizza as a fast food faired among these groups. While high income group set aside about 20 pence, the average group’s share was above 10 pence and the low income group’s was the least, above five pence.

While hamburger remained popular among high and average income groups, fish and chips were the favourite of low income group.
