English. The aim of this work is to highlight the major trends of Portuguese household food expenditure in 1990, 1995 and 2000. Food expenditure trends per food groups are examined taking into account household food expenditure at home, and away from home, and based on different variables. Results suggest that income, education and age are influencing changes in Portuguese food spending behaviour. The pattern observed in Europe in terms of an increasing trend towards food away from home can also be confirmed for Portugal.

On examine les dépenses d'un foyer par groupe d'aliments, en considérant la consommation à la maison ou à l'extérieur, en tenant compte de plusieurs variables. Nos résultats suggèrent une influence des revenus, de l'éducation, et de l'âge sur le comportement des dépenses alimentaires portugaises. L'augmentation des consommations hors de la maison, déjà observée en Europe, est confirmée au Portugal.
