Think about other places where people buy food, such as meat markets, produce stands, bakeries, warehouse clubs, and convenience stores. Did (you/anyone in your household) buy food from any stores such as these

LAST WEEK in all the places where you bought food. Then, since LAST

WEEK may have been unusual for you, I will ask about the amount you

USUALLY spend.
