I have to suggest that the typical American cuts out the snacks. I can only that conclude my grocery spending patters must be very atypical. I expect British patterns are pretty similar to American but it ain't me...
white: My grocery list is nothing like the typical American one either - too many fresh vegetables, fruits, and fish.
