Cheap Groceries? Go To Iowa!

This is an interesting look at your budget.

New research suggests that the average American household spends more than $1,000 per month on groceries....

...That number increases when children are factored in; HelpAdvisor found that households with children spend an average of $331.94 a week at the store, or 41% higher than households without children. ...

OK, so what about Wisconsin?  We'll get there momentarily.

...California topped the list of most expensive places to buy food with a household average of $297.72 per week...

...Wisconsinites spend $76 less at the grocery store per week than their California counterparts; their average weekly grocery bill is $221.46...

But if you want to spend even less:

... The cheapest states to purchase foodstuffs are all located in the Midwest, HelpAdvisor research suggests, with Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan and Indiana households all spending under $240 at the store on average per week. ...

So Meijer's charges more in Wisconsin than in Michigan?

Hmmmmm.
