People in the US: how much do you spend on food per month?
We’d like to hear from people in America about how much they’re spending on groceries and going out to eat

TL;DR
- More than half of Americans struggle to afford groceries, according to a July Harris poll.
- UK food prices are expected to rise by 50% since the cost of living crisis began in 2021.
- Seven in 10 Americans still dine out monthly, but 37% are doing so less than a year ago.
- The Guardian is collecting stories from individuals over 18 about their monthly food spending.
- Responses can be submitted anonymously and are encrypted for security.
- Information sought includes grocery costs, dining out expenses, other food expenses, feelings about spending, and annual household income.
- Participants can opt to share photos and decide if their response can be published.
