Questions and instructions

Literal question

In a typical month during which you purchased ..[FOOD]. on average how much did your household consume?

Interviewer instructions

Emphasize that you want the amount of a given food that is usually consumed in a typical month during which the food is purchased. In most cases the amount will be given in whole units, i.e. 5 kilos. However, if fractional amounts are reported (for instance 1/2 kilo) record it as 0.5 kilo in the questionnaire.

Note that all quantities have been fixed at a specific unit -- for example, rice and wheat are always reported in kilos, and milk and edible oils in liters. Do not fill in quantities for food items where column 3 has been blocked out in the questionnaire.
