If I added up the sum of everything my family spends on every brand appearing in this infographic, I would be surprised if it exceeded 2% of our gross income. And by no means do we go out of our way to avoid BigCo's.
"Everything you buy"? Not even close.
EDIT: Worldwide revenue for these 10 companies was around $520B last year. Total U.S. consumer spending: Something like $11T.
- lostlogin 13y agoI'm with you - I count 3-4 products that we regularly buy, and nothing else from the lists. That said, we don't live in the US. But even then, the main determining factors for us don't usually include brand when the item is sub $200.

Same here, probably less. Not a huge fan of things that come vacuum sealed. Vegetables, fruits, meat, dairy, etc. that's the bulk of the grocery bill.
- ravingraven 13y agoI guess you only include stuff you buy day to day. It would be interesting to see how much those companies are involved with the bigger things you buy infrequently (like a house or a car.)
