Definition
Only food regularly bought and eaten by family members outside the home like snacks, merienda, lunch, etc. are included in this section. Note that the daily allowances of school children for their sandwiches, softdrinks, etc. at school are also covered by this category. Thus, if the schooling members of the family are given regular allowance, estimate the amount of the average weekly food consumption and report it here. In estimating the amount to be entered, take note of those months when schooling children are usually on vacation. Do not, however, forget to report the amount used for their transportation in B2 (Transportation and Communication). Any food expenditure incurred by any family member who habitually goes to discos or night spots will not be included here and these will be recorded under (D2) Recreation.
