New data from USDA shows just how much disposable income consumers are spending to put food on the table.
They found that in 2023, U.S. consumers spent around 11 percent of their disposable income on food, and that is right in line with spending levels in 2022.
“Food at home” purchases fell a couple of points during 2023, with “food away from home” jumping nearly half a percent.
They place the rise on more disposable income, with consumers starting to return to outside the home eateries.
