10 US cities with highest food prices
When it comes to keeping your monthly budget manageable, food spending is critical—but as it turns out, even this common spending category depends on where you live.
According to the US Department of Agriculture, the average American spends 9,9% of their personal income on food - 5,2% on groceries and 4,7% on restaurants and eating out, writes Business Insider.
The cost of products varies in different states of the USA and increases significantly in coastal cities, according to a new Rent.com report.
The report examines data from the Council for Social and Economic Research's Cost of Living Index and compares the costs of common foods such as milk, eggs, coffee and sugar.
The study also rated 257 cities, counties and districts in a report based on product availability.
