That's a quirky but fun graph. Entertaining to compare the portion spent on, say, flour or frozen juice concentrate to, say, women's suits & separates or Gardening & lawncare.

What a great chart and is also a good guide to use on categories and subcategories. It also shows you where you are in relation to other people.

The health care section looks screwy to me. So little for health insurance? So much for doctors, prescriptions, dentists, glasses, hospital, etc? In a typical year I spend zero for hospital services. Heck, in a typical decade I spend zero for hospital services. I'm spending three times as much for insurance as that graph indicates.
