Interviewer instructions
In reporting the quantity and the corresponding value of beverages consumed, an estimate should be made based on the buying pattern of the family. For example, if a 50 grams refilled pack of instant coffee is consumed in one week, report the quantity consumed which is 50 grams and the corresponding value of 50 grams coffee. However, if a 50 grams refilled pack of instant coffee is consumed in, let us say, 2 weeks, estimate the quantity consumed and the value proportionately. If a 50 grams refilled pack costs P42.00 then the value to be reported should be P21.00. The P21.00 is the equivalent price of coffee consumed and the corresponding quantity consumed which is 25 grams during the week. The same procedure should be done to estimate consumption of other beverages.
