Expenditures for a family of four?

Hi, I'm in a Sociology class. My partner and I are trying to find the following expenditures for a family of four: Rent for a 2 bedroom house or apartment Food Automobile/Insurance/Gas/Repair Clothing Entertainment/Travel Health/Dental/Life Insurance Savings We've found a few sites, but not many of them have been accurate. We've mostly come across living costs calculators, which doesn't help us much. Thanks in advance!
--------------------
Expenditures depend on income and location especially housing which can vary as much as a factor 10 between the most expensive and cheapest for essentially the same accommodations because of where it is located and average income in the area. The BLS collect the data of the CPI and is the source of most of the information about average consumer expenditures in the US. You can find their information http://www.bls.gov/cex/
