I challenged Popmenu on the results of their survey -- waiting to hear back. Meanwhile, how much do spend?
Must be shopping at Publix? We don’t eat out very often, spend about $350. month on food and maybe $150 eating out? We are not heavy eaters though. I sure could cut that number by maybe 20%?

I could see big different in family of 4 or more, just 2 of us. Makes us wonder how younger population makes it, especially lower income working class.
