Understanding where U.S. households acquire food, what they acquire, and what they
pay is essential to identifying which food and nutrition policies might improve diet
quality. USDA’s National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS)
provides a complete picture of where households acquire food, what they acquire, and how much they pay during a 7-day period in 2012. Nearly all households acquire food
at least once during the week; 87 percent visited large grocery stores and supermarkets, and 85 percent visited restaurants and other eating places at least once. Households acquired food at no cost on 22 percent of occasions, and these events occurred mainly at food pantries/Meals on Wheels, schools, meals with family or friends, community events, and workplaces.
