The goal of the paper is to provide an overview of the developments in the area of consumer behaviour in a period of transformation. Both at the level of generation and use of incomes in the household sector (in the system of national accounts) and the level of incomes and expenditures in households by social groups (representative household cross sections) was aimed to answer how much latitude is there for possible changes in customer behaviour. The income situation in the population is dealt with also from the aspect of regions. This aids in finding the basic territorial differentiation in the sphere of household income generation and the need for social care, which are the precondition for the formation of consumer behaviour and possible changes in the consumer habits. Other subject matters explored here are the population's ability to provide for their own nourishment using their own expenditures, as well as the consumption of non-food goods and services in households by social groups. The paper uses officially published data (monthly, quarterly and yearly) as well as the information representing soft data
