How Much Do You Spend on Groceries?

Malaysians are spending more on groceries than anyone else in the region, but why? Is it rising food prices, changing lifestyles, or simply larger households? We want to hear how you're managing your grocery budget, so we're asking our listeners: Where do you go for your groceries, and how much are they costing you? Is there anything you're cutting down on?
