The question would be what percent of income does one spend on food and necessaries broken down by quintile.
I know between the BEA and the BLS the income side of that is captured, but I don't know how much of the expense side is broken down appropriately.
I'm sure there have been economic surveys to that effect done in the past, but I'll have to dig to see if there's a way to present that information using current wage, price, and inflation data.
