freeganism, consumption, consumption behaviours, households, economic crisisAbstract
The economic crisis has significantly changed the level and structure of consumption of Polish households, as well as their consumption behaviours. It is undeniable that the rate of economic growth declining in Poland from 2008 has deteriorated the labour market situation, affecting consumers’ income and, consequently, bringing down the level of households’ consumption and making its structure less favourable. The article discusses freeganism as a new consumption trend in the behaviour of Polish urban households in the period of crisis. After description of research methodology and sample, the author focused on economic impact of crisis on urban households. The article also analyses how freeganism manifests itself in the surveyed households in the period of economic crisis.
