Food Details 

What's in Your Basket? 

• Meat, Poultry, Fish, Eggs: 10.9 Percent
• Cereals, Bakery: 15.0 Percent
• Dairy: 14.9 Percent
• Fruits and Vegetables: 9.3 Percent
• Beverages: 13.8 Percent
• Other Food at Home: 15.8 Percent
• Away From Home: 7.6 Percent
• At Home: 13.1 Percent

Given rising tip defaults (and me paying them) I dispute the total cost of food away from home as up only 7.6 percent.

We have seen tip defaults as high as 25 percent. It's getting absurd.
