How Much Do Singaporeans Spend On Food Each Month?

If you think that $1,035 is a lot of money to spend on food and dining out…

Did you know that according to the government’s most recent Household Expenditure Survey, the average Singaporean household spends about $1,199 per month on food and food serving services?

Note: food serving services refer to meals bought from restaurants, hawker centres, and food courts, etc.

Of which, food-serving services accounted for 68 per cent of their expenditure on food in 2017/2018

This is higher than the 64 per cent observed in 2012/13.

If we look at the numbers, it means that households spent $810 a month on food serving services in 2017/2018 as compared to $760 a month back in 2012/2013.

This 6.6% increase was mainly due to increased spending in restaurants, cafes, and pubs.

However, meals at hawker centres and food courts continue to constitute a household’s largest share of expenses when it comes to eating out.

So what does this all mean?

Let’s take a closer look at the average monthly household expenditure on food serving services.

And as a point of comparison, we’ll use the type of housing to get a feel for how much your average representative household is spending on eating out every month.
