$ 1764 on meat, dairy and produce?
How do you only spend $ 1800 when buying furniture, appliances and carpet?
That's a survey from 2007?
I'm not trying to be crass, those averages just seem low.

You don't buy furniture, appliances or carpet every month or year.. I have to assume that is the average spent. For example the last carpet we purchased (about 10 years ago) cost us 10K. Easily averages that if you also include the new washer/dryer also purchased.
