Great question.
I tracked our May 2025 food costs.(no alcohol) $1,030 for May for 2 people. 15% was restaurant dining.
I tracked out costs in June 2019 as well. $1,250 for 2 people. 25% was restaurant dining.
In 2015 I was single. My food costs were $600 per month for 1 person. 50% dining out.
No way is the data you quoted from Popmenu correct for the average adult.
Good for you to challenge them!!

Husband and wife together we spend between $100 and 150 a week depending on what we need for groceries, I like to do fast food so probably another 50 a week on that and together we probably go out at least once a week that's another 50-hundred depending on where we go

So probably a thousand a month which means 12,000 a year and most of the time I shop at aldis or Walmart, because we all know publix is 30% more

If you buy BOGOS, Publix and Winn Dixie are cheaper than Aldi or Walmart.

Ya, on those items but not on the overall bill. You can't plan meals strictly based on what's BOGO this week.

Seems like they raise the price on the first item
