Lots of threads on here where people share their weekly or monthly spending but as it's relative to their income I thought this might be an interesting comparison.
We currently spend 15% of our household income on groceries (all food, cleaning, beer, wine, and toiletries) and 9% on gas and electricity.

Our annual household income is in the lowest 40% according to this calculator

About 5% on groceries (not including toiletries & alcohol) and 2.5% on G&E.
