I challenged Popmenu on the results of their survey -- waiting to hear back. Meanwhile, how much do spend?

Yeah, that doesn’t seem right. If that person eats out twice per week then both restaurants and groceries cost them $50 per day. If they eat out only once then groceries cost only $40 per day. Either way that seems like too much for groceries, certainly more than we spend.
We’re not the typical consumer, we eat out more, yet we didn’t spend $35K for food last year.
