And don't forget , folks,  some of them have a creative ways of using and alloting the budgets and also take living standards being compared country to country.  My in laws  spends roughly 75$ cdn about 1000 Pakistani Rs  If you look at the pictures a bit more closely and  you will observe that some of the food/grocery have a good shelf life.
Just an observation.

wasalaam,

Looool, I agree with Toula $68.53 won't last long....
Pretty interesting, jazakiAllah Sie!

this was very interesting. the german and american families have so much more processed food, and especially with the german family they seem to have alot of fancy drinks. i'm sure the other families save alot by drinking water or simpler drinks. also the germans have so much meat, yet as you move down the list you see more fruit and vegatables with less meat.

the italian family has so much bread!

cool post, where did you find all this?

ohhh..i guess it's not reasonable for the egyptian one! 387.85 Egyptian Ponds or $68.53 for ONE week can't be sufficient to buy all these stuff they got!! besides they are 12 so it's not logical!
