Interviewer instructions
Purchases by the families under this subsection may not be on a daily basis because these food commodities are common stocks at home and used almost daily. It may be difficult to account for the quantity of each item. However, an attempt to get a realistic estimate of consumption on an average/normal week should be made in order not to underestimate or overestimate consumption. For example, if sugar was bought in 5 kgs. and this lasted for 2 weeks, then 2.5 kgs. must be reported.
