Definition

Monthly household spending on food, in millions of Australian dollars at current prices, seasonally adjusted, for Australia and the eight states and territories.

More on how it is measured
  • ABS Monthly Household Spending Indicator (dataflow HSI_M).
  • The ABS builds it mainly from de-identified bank transaction data, benchmarked to household final consumption expenditure in the national accounts, so it is not a sample survey.
  • Categories follow the national accounts purposes (COICOP based); discretionary and non-discretionary are ABS groupings of them.

Australian dollars at current prices, seasonally adjusted. Estimates up to December 2018 use a different method, which the ABS notes on every value of that period. Recent months are revised as more transaction data arrive. Not comparable with retail sales series, which cover sales by retailers rather than spending by households, or with other countries without a currency conversion.
