Food Budget
For the average American family...
In the 1950's food was the largest budget item at 29.7%. In the 1960's it was 24.3% In the 1970's it dropped to 19.3% In the 1980's only 15% In the 1990's 13.8% In the 2000's a meager 13.1% How can that be, when it costs so much to go to the supermarket these days? Because the average income went from $4,287 to $50,302.
