New Zealand household expenses
A short but very topical article. However, there are bound to be plenty who say they spend a lot less. I certainly have to.

Household expenses nearly $1,000 a week
The average New Zealand family spends just under a $1,000 a week on household expenses.
Statistics NZ says housing costs, including mortgage or rent payments, power bills and rates, suck up the most money.
For the average family, that component amounts to $224 a week, or 23 percent of their total costs.
Food is the next biggest cost at around $156 a week.
