Thanks for participating in the Grocery Spending Survey. Just look at the table below to see how your spending compares. As you might imagine, many things affect family spending on groceries. Not only family size, but the age of the family members, how often they eat out, where they live, dietary restrictions and even whether they grow a garden. Far too many to try to control in a simple survey like this. But our goal wasn't to provide a tremendous amount of data. Rather, it was to help you to decide whether there was room for improvement in your grocery bills. If you find that you're much higher than average you may be leaving too much money at the grocery store.
You'll find our readers' responses in the first table. A second table showing figures from the U.S. Statistical Abstract are included in the second table.
Finally, you might want to follow the link at the end of this article to see what some people are doing to reduce their grocery bills.
