The data from expenditure and surveys conducted by Department Statistics years: 1997, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2017 were used. Graphs prepared percentages calculated measure changes patterns. average index was used impact on changing (Selim, 2014). To elasticity, a pooled regression model adopted (Sugiarto & Wibowo, 2020). estimated is statistically significant at level 0.05. found decrease percentage spending food group an increase non-food period. family’s pattern coincided with its income. Value elasticity < 1 for food, clothing, housing. It > transportation communication, education, health. Therefore, we conclude that consumer behavior family fully consistent theory applications.
