Power of supermarkets

So I suspect the stats obscure as much as they illuminate, and it is always worth remembering that 37% of statistics are made up on the spot. In a moment of work-avoidance, I have analysed my last few credit card bills and come out with the following: (this is not % of income, this is %age of total credit card bill, so I'm not sure if this is a good or bad way of taking into account when we have a low spending month, ie when taking holiday off work) Transport:- May:35% June:60% Jul:39% Aug:57% Groceries:- May:39% June:25% Jul:22% Aug:23% Going out:- May: 9% June:13% Jul: 6% Aug: 3% House/Gdn:- May:12% June: 2% Jul: 7% Aug:15% Other :- May: 5% June: 0 Jul:26% Aug: 2% Childcare is not included, because that comes direct off salary, and is a fixed amount of around 15% of income/month, even though the actual amount is varied, if that makes sense. So basically, other thn May which seems to have been a bit grocery-heavy for some reason (which possibly means it included something non-grocery on a supermarket shop, such as grow bags or something similar), my travel costs far outweigh my food costs. |
