Description

Definition
A purchase - constitutes anything (food item, clothing article, gasoline, soap, etc.) that you or any member of your household buys for the use of the household as a whole or for the exclusive use of any member of the household. It also includes purchases you paid for anyone outside of the household.

Home-produced - items may be anything produced in the home. For example, in the case of food such items might include root crops, livestock, vegetables, fruits, self-caught fish, self-collected shellfish, etc.; in the case of material things, home-produced items may include hand-woven floor mats, baskets, storyboards, spearguns, etc. Make certain that each item is described properly under the ITEM DESCRIPTION column, that the weight or number of pieces of identical items is recorded under the NUMBER column, that the retail unit price is estimated and recorded under the UNIT column, and that the total estimated retail dollar value is calculated and recorded under the ESTIMATED LOCAL RETAIL VALUE column.

Gifts Given - may include any item given, including money, food item, article of clothing, and so on. Items that qualify as gifts include those purchased in a store, home grown (root crops, vegetables, fruits), self-caught or collected (fish, shellfish, crustaceans), or homemade (baskets, mats, spearguns) - anything that your household or any member of your household gives to another household or someone not a member of your household for which no money or payment is expected. Note that although payment is not anticipated payment for the gifts given, you nevertheless should record the estimated dollar value of each item given away as a gift.

Gifts Received - may include any item received by your household or any member of your household from another household or someone who is not a member of your household. Do not treat items exchanged among members of your own family as gifts received. For example, if a household member's birthday falls within a week when the Daily Expenditures Diary is kept, the present given to this person should not be recorded as a gift received; however, the expenditure should be recorded on the Daily Expenditures Form under the ITEM BOUGHT column.
