<Consider that less than 4% of disposable income is spent on groceries... HUH? I guess a family of four grossing $60,000 per year and netting $45,000 would spend $1800.00 per year on groceries? Or grossing $80,000 and netting $60,000 which is generous is spending $2400/year or $200 a month. Glad I eat at my place an not yours. <G>
