var_qstn_ivuinstr

Not all food items are purchased year-round; some are seasonal. Ask the respondent to estimate the number of months in the last year the household purchased a certain food item. It does not matter if the food purchased has not yet been consumed; so long as it was purchased during the last 12 months it should be reported here. If the food item is purchased in all 12 months of the year, record “12” here. If a food was not purchased by the household during the past 12 months, write “0” and skip to Q.8. If a food item was purchased only once during the past 12 months, write “1”. If a food item was purchased once in every three months, write '3'. For example: Suppose a household bought a food item 4 times in June, not at all in July, 5 times in August and once in September, write '3'.
