Food Expenditures and Trends for 1967

The 1967 food expenditure outlook predicts total U S food spending at 96 to 97 billion dollars, under 18 percent of disposable income, with per capita averages rising to about 485 dollars. Consumption growth will drive half the rise in expenditures, while higher prices and pricier foods will cover the rest. Shoppers reduced purchases last year and savings rose to a multi-year peak, slowing shipments in both food and nonfood sectors as prices rise and tax expectations grow. Retail sales show a rebound in early 1967 after a paused period.
