The table compares domestic earnings and the expenditure on food and clothes while the pie charts illustrate the distribution of expenses on different categories in a typical family in a UK city between 2010 and 2013.
It is clear that while total income witnessed a slight decrease, the opposite trend was true for food and clothing expenses. Also, the spending on meat and fish contributed to the largest proportion in 2010, whereas the percentage of fruits and vegetables took the lead in 2013.
According to the table, we can see that 29,000 pounds came from family earnings in 2010 before dropping to 25,000 pounds after three years. However, a different pattern can be observed in the food and clothing expenditure, with the minimal increase from 14,000 pounds in 2010 to 15,000 pounds in 2013.
Examining the pie charts, it is obvious that the proportion of fruits and vegetables and dairy products went up in the three-year period. A surge to 15% was seen on fruits and vegetables(from 20% to 35%), tripling the increase of dairy products(from 15% to 20%). In contrast, there was a similar drop within 10% for meat and fish and clothing. In addition, a stable trend with 18% of the earnings was allocated for other food and drinks in both years.
