Food consumption and purchasing behavior depend on different factors like income level, access to markets, consume patterns, etc. The paper aims to identify, on different levels of family’s income, the frequency of acquiring foods and the sources for purchasing the main food products. We applied a questionnaire to 80 household from Braila County and these were completed by the person which make the majority of shopping activities inside family. To emphasize our results we processed the collected data with SPSS by using descriptive statistic method. Research findings indicate the importance of self-consumption for urban low income level families and the importance of fresh and healthy foods for families with higher income.
