We eat daily and shop for food frequently. Groceries are also one of the more flexible items in a budget: you can\u2019t change your rent or car payment, but you can shift your grocery shopping patterns. Let\u2019s look closer at the average cost of groceries and how it varies with location, income, and family size.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Groceries are usually defined as food items that are prepared and consumed in the home. Money spent on eating out or ordering out doesn\u2019t qualify. Consumable items often purchased in grocery stores, like cleaning supplies and personal hygiene items, may also be classified as groceries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group item900 has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Average-Monthly-Food-Spending\">Average Monthly Food Spending<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of the average American monthly spending pattern. <strong>Food is the third largest expense<\/strong>, but it\u2019s not broken down into groceries and food prepared outside the home.<\/p>\n<p>Food spending includes groceries and food away from home, which is any food that you pay someone else to prepare for you. On average, Americans spent <strong>$779 per month<\/strong> on food in 2022 and <strong>$9,343 over the full year<\/strong>. Here\u2019s how that breaks down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group item1200 has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does an Average American Spend on Groceries Each Month?<\/h3>\n<p>When considering only <strong>grocery expenses<\/strong>, the average American spends about <strong>$475 monthly<\/strong> and a total of <strong>$5,703 throughout the year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-light-yellow-background-color has-background\">\ud83d\udcb3 <strong>Learn more:<\/strong> Maximize your savings on daily essentials with our guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/finmasters.com\/best-credit-cards-for-groceries\/\">best credit cards for groceries<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group item900 is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-Much-Do-Americans-Need-to-Spend-On-Groceries\">How Much Do Americans Need to Spend on Groceries<\/h2>\n<p>Are Americans spending more than they need to spend on groceries?<\/p>\n<p>The US Department of Agriculture has created four food plans that Americans can follow; the Thrifty Plan, the Low-cost Plan, the Moderate-cost Plan, and the Liberal Plan<sup>[1]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>These plans take into consideration the age and gender of a person to calculate the average food cost. The plans are built on the assumption that all meals are cooked at home and meet nutritional recommendations. Figures are updated regularly to account for inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the average food costs listed in the December 2023 USDA Food Plan<sup>[2,3]<\/sup>:<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>average monthly grocery bill of a family of two adults and one five year old child<\/strong> in the US following the official USDA moderate food plan is <strong>$898<\/strong>. That\u2019s substantially higher than the average household food expenditure of $779. The disparity is because many American households don\u2019t have children, which brings down the average expenditure.<\/p>\n<p>US Census data indicates that the average family household size is 3.2 people, while the average non-family household size is only 1.25 people. The average food expenditure is not broken down by family and non-family households, but family households will have substantially higher food expenditures than non-family households.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group item900 has-light-blue-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Higher-Income-Earners-Spend-More-on-Groceries\">Higher Income Earners Spend More on Groceries<\/h2>\n<p>Income has a major impact on grocery spending. Unsurprisingly, a higher income rolls out a smorgasbord of options. People with higher incomes can afford to pay more for organic produce, imported foods, and gourmet items<sup>[4]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-light-blue-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p>Low incomes also influence overall choices. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12889-019-6546-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2019 study<\/a>, lower-income households purchase fewer healthy foods like vegetables and dairy products than households with a higher income. The study noted that \u201clower-income households had lower (poorer nutrition quality) scores compared with higher-income households\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Low-income households also pay more for the food they buy. Consumers can save significant amounts by <a href=\"https:\/\/progressivegrocer.com\/bulk-foods-help-consumers-stretch-food-bucks-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buying non-perishable items in bulk<\/a>, but a tighter budget puts money-saving bulk purchases out of reach.

Higher income allows households to allocate more money for food and other expenses.

We eat daily and shop for food frequently. Groceries are also one of the more flexible items in a budget: you can\u2019t change your rent or car payment, but you can shift your grocery shopping patterns. Let\u2019s look closer at the average cost of groceries and how it varies with location, income, and family size.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Groceries are usually defined as food items that are prepared and consumed in the home. Money spent on eating out or ordering out doesn\u2019t qualify. Consumable items often purchased in grocery stores, like cleaning supplies and personal hygiene items, may also be classified as groceries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group item900 has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Average-Monthly-Food-Spending\">Average Monthly Food Spending<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of the average American monthly spending pattern. <strong>Food is the third largest expense<\/strong>, but it\u2019s not broken down into groceries and food prepared outside the home.<\/p>\n<p>Food spending includes groceries and food away from home, which is any food that you pay someone else to prepare for you.

The plans are built on the assumption that all meals are cooked at home and meet nutritional recommendations. Figures are updated regularly to account for inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the average food costs listed in the December 2023 USDA Food Plan<sup>[2,3]<\/sup>:<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>average monthly grocery bill of a family of two adults and one five year old child<\/strong> in the US following the official USDA moderate food plan is <strong>$898<\/strong>. That\u2019s substantially higher than the average household food expenditure of $779. The disparity is because many American households don\u2019t have children, which brings down the average expenditure.<\/p>\n<p>US Census data indicates that the average family household size is 3.2 people, while the average non-family household size is only 1.25 people. The average food expenditure is not broken down by family and non-family households, but family households will have substantially higher food expenditures than non-family households.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group item900 has-light-blue-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Higher-Income-Earners-Spend-More-on-Groceries\">Higher Income Earners Spend More on Groceries<\/h2>\n<p>Income has a major impact on grocery spending.

Understanding these factors helps policymakers, businesses, and individuals make informed decisions about budgeting, resource allocation, and responding to dynamic market conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"article-feedback\">\n<div class=\"article-feedback-voting\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<a href=\"#cb1608b521\" class=\"article-feedback-button article-feedback-no\" id=\"feedback-no\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"feedback-no\" xml:space=\"preserve\" width=\"25px\" height=\"34px\" viewbox=\"0 0 232 316\"><path fill=\"#393939\" d=\"M11 103l0 110c0,3 1,4 4,4l37 0c3,0 4,-1 4,-4l0 -110c0,-3 -2,-4 -5,-4l-33 0c-3,0 -5,1 -5,4zm121 121c0,-8 15,-6 20,-6l52 0c5,0 8,1 12,-1 7,-5 7,-15 0,-19 -4,-3 -20,-2 -26,-2 -3,0 -9,0 -8,-5 0,-5 4,-6 8,-6 6,0 21,1 26,-2 7,-4 7,-15 1,-19 -9,-6 -34,4 -34,-7 0,-8 11,-6 21,-6 5,0 9,1 13,-2 7,-4 7,-15 1,-19 -7,-5 -29,1 -33,-4 -2,-2 -2,-7 1,-8 5,-4 15,1 21,-4 7,-6 4,-20 -9,-20l-71 0c-12,0 -24,3 -33,5 -10,3 -18,7 -26,12l0 93c2,1 4,2 6,4 4,3 12,10 15,14 14,17 19,29 24,52 1,7 4,30 9,30 4,0 8,-1 11,-3 2,-1 5,-5 6,-6 13,-19 3,-39 -2,-59l-3 -12zm-67 -6c-1,6 -8,11 -14,11l-37 0c-8,0 -15,-7 -15,-15l0 -110c0,-4 2,-8 4,-11 2,-2 6,-5 10,-5l39 0c6,0 12,6 13,11l12 -5c12,-5 29,-10 43,-10l79 0c5,0 11,3 14,6 8,8 9,19 3,28 12,3 20,18 14,32 -2,4 -4,5 -5,7 7,5 10,17 5,27 -2,3 -3,5 -5,7 9,6 11,25 -2,35 -7,5 -12,4 -23,4 -18,0 -37,0 -55,0l5 21c2,8 4,13 4,23 0,15 -8,32 -19,38 -31,17 -31,-16 -35,-32 -2,-9 -5,-22 -9,-30 -5,-11 -11,-20 -21,-27 -2,-1 -3,-4 -6,-4z\"\/><path fill=\"#393939\" d=\"M29 193c0,-2 3,-5 5,-5 6,0 8,6 5,9 -3,4 -10,2 -10,-4z\"\/><rect fill=\"none\" width=\"232\" height=\"316\"\/><\/svg>No<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-feedback-response\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 117.72 117.72\" fill=\"none\"><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M58.86,0c9.13,0,17.77,2.08,25.49,5.79c-3.16,2.5-6.09,4.9-8.82,7.21c-5.2-1.89-10.81-2.92-16.66-2.92 c-13.47,0-25.67,5.46-34.49,14.29c-8.83,8.83-14.29,21.02-14.29,34.49c0,13.47,5.46,25.66,14.29,34.49 c8.83,8.83,21.02,14.29,34.49,14.29s25.67-5.46,34.49-14.29c8.83-8.83,14.29-21.02,14.29-34.49c0-3.2-0.31-6.34-0.9-9.37 c2.53-3.3,5.12-6.59,7.77-9.85c2.08,6.02,3.21,12.49,3.21,19.22c0,16.25-6.59,30.97-17.24,41.62 c-10.65,10.65-25.37,17.24-41.62,17.24c-16.25,0-30.97-6.59-41.62-17.24C6.59,89.83,0,75.11,0,58.86 c0-16.25,6.59-30.97,17.24-41.62S42.61,0,58.86,0L58.86,0z M31.44,49.19L45.8,49l1.07,0.28c2.9,1.67,5.63,3.58,8.18,5.74 c1.84,1.56,3.6,3.26,5.27,5.1c5.15-8.29,10.64-15.9,16.44-22.9c6.35-7.67,13.09-14.63,20.17-20.98l1.4-0.54H114l-3.16,3.51 C101.13,30,92.32,41.15,84.36,52.65C76.4,64.16,69.28,76.04,62.95,88.27l-1.97,3.8l-1.81-3.87c-3.34-7.17-7.34-13.75-12.11-19.63 c-4.77-5.88-10.32-11.1-16.79-15.54L31.44,49.19L31.44,49.19z\" fill=\"#01A601\"\/><\/svg>Thanks for your feedback!\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"article-info\">\n<div class=\"below-single \">\n<div class=\"author-details\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mlsjoxwh2dv5.i.optimole.com\/cb:fJ2b~7176\/w:60\/h:60\/q:90\/f:best\/https:\/\/finmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ruchi-gupta.jpg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"Ruchi Gupta\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mlsjoxwh2dv5.i.optimole.com\/cb:fJ2b~7176\/w:60\/h:60\/q:90\/f:best\/https:\/\/finmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ruchi-gupta.jpg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"Ruchi Gupta\"\/>\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"author-description\">\n<p itemprop=\"description\">Ruchi is a News Reporter covering the US stock market.
