Question pretext
Household Expenditure:
I would like to quickly ask you a few questions about your home. Remember that any information you provide will be kept confidential.
For all questions in this section report all values in local currency, whether paid in cash or in kind.
Literal question
In the last 4 weeks, how much did your household spend in total?
Interviewer instructions
Total spending should include the value of all goods and services consumed or used by the household. This would include things produced by the household for its own consumption (e.g. eggs from backyard chickens). It would exclude things purchased for use in a home business.
