1Household final consumption expenditures are the sum of spending on food and nonalcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics, clothing and footwear, housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, furnishings, household equipment and routine maintenance of the house, health, transport, communication, recreation and culture, education, restaurants and hotels, miscellaneous goods and services, plus direct purchases abroad by residents, minus direct domestic market purchases by nonresidents.
2Includes nonalcoholic beverages.
3Two sets of estimates are shown for the United States. The first set is based on ERS estimates of U.S. food and beverage expenditures by families and individuals. The second set is based on U.S. Department of Commerce estimates of expenditure for food and beverages, and is used by the United Nations (UN). The ERS estimates are lower partly because they exclude pet food, ice and prepared feed, which are included in the UN provided numbers. The ERS estimates also deduct more from grocery store sales for nonfoods, such as drugs and household supplies, in arriving at the estimate for food purchases for at-home consumption.
4Includes alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and narcotics.
