[quote=Anonymous]Also, OP, note that the $12/day grocery average is not per person. The story was about how much the average American spends per day, which they got by analyzing the Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The BLS data are per "consumer unit," which can be a family, a single person, or two people making financial decisions together. For 2017, the average consumer unit spent $11.95 per day on "food at home" and an additional $9.22 per day on "food away from home." But that averages in both single people and families of six, so it's not an especially good metric to base your own spending on.[/quote]
