Don’t believe it’s only 50%. More like 80-90%.

“Don’t believe it’s only 50%. More like 80-90%.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Food costs are up and for a lot of reasons that are unnecessary. I think we can find agreement there.

You think that for 80-90% of US families their food budget is the biggest part of their budget. This is an absurd statement.

We eat like royalty the two of us for $600/month. That is 12% of our monthly budget, way behind RE taxes, transportation, utilities and even insurance. Our biggest budget expense is savings, that is just north of 50% of our income. If 80-90% of US families have as their biggest budget item food that puts me in the top 10-20% for with whom food is not their biggest budget item this is simply untrue we are established middle class.
