As to foods, there are naturally variations between the different parts of the
country, according to economic conditions and means of communication. As
yet there are no statistics on the subject covering the whole country. However,
in various Swedish towns and more important industrial communities a kind of
"familj’ budgets" are being worked out, in accordance with modern methods:
the results are not yet available. However, as regards Stockholm, the Municipal
Bureau of Statistics of this city has carried out a statistical investigation of the
costs of living in 1907/08 among families of small means. This investigation
has yielded the appended summary (Table 33) of expenditure for foods and the
quantities consumed. The summary refers to an average family (calculated on
150 different families), with an annual expenditure of close on 2 200 kronor,
and consisting of somewhat more than 4 members.
