Thank you for agreeing to fill out this diary.
We understand that this task takes time; however, your information is
very important to us and will be used for many purposes that affect all
Americans. Among the most important, it is used to help calculate the
Consumer Price Index, or CPI, which is a basic measure of the rate of
inflation.
Here are some of the uses of the Consumer Price Index:
♦ Provide cost-of-living wage adjustments for millions of American workers
♦ Adjust Social Security payments
♦ Determine the cost of school lunches
♦ Adjust Federal income-tax brackets

For more information about the survey, visit: http://www.bls.gov/cex and http://www.census.gov

Frequently
requently Asked
sked Questions
uestions
(continued on other side)

1. How detailed should my descriptions be?
Refer to pages 2–3 for examples of the level of
detail needed in each part. Do not use brand
names.

2. How should I record multiple quantities?
If the items are identical, you can combine
them on the same line and enter the total cost
of all the items. See examples on pages 2 and 3.

3. How should I record pre-payments such
as a subway fare card?
Record the expense when you pay for it, not
when you use it.

4. How should I record credit card
purchases?
Record the individual expense on the day that
you use your credit card to pay for something,
not on the day you pay your entire credit card
bill.

5. Should I record automatic deductions
taken from my paycheck or bank
account?
Yes, record automatic deductions (such as
health insurance premiums taken out of your
account or paycheck) only if they are deducted
that week. Write them in the section called All
Other Products, Services, and Expenses.

6. Should I record typical monthly bills?
Yes, record typical monthly bills only if you pay
them during the week that you have the diary.
Write them in the section called All Other
Products, Services, and Expenses.

7. What should I do when I use coupons,
discount cards, or loyalty cards?
Subtract the discount from the original price
and write the amount that you paid.

8. Can I just give you receipts instead of
writing the information down?
No, we need you to actually write the
information in the diary. We encourage you to
save your receipts to review them with your
field representative at the end of the week. You
can use the pocket on the inside of the back
cover to store your receipts until you’re ready
to record your purchases.

9. How should I record items if I don’t
know whether it includes tax?
Write down the amount paid.

10. What if I make a contribution or
charitable donation?
Record money contributions or donations in
the section called All Other Products, Services,
and Expenses.

11. What about gift certificates or gift
cards?
If you buy a gift certificate to give to someone,
write down the cost of it under the appropriate
section (e.g. a certificate to a clothing store
would go under Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry, and
Accessories and a certificate to a department
store would go under All Other Products,
Services, and Expenses. If you buy something
using a gift card, write down the full amount
for your purchase ignoring the gift card.

12. What do I do about returns & exchanges?
If an item is bought and returned during the
diary week, it can be erased or crossed out. If it
was bought outside the week and returned
during the week, do not make an entry. If an
item is exchanged during the week, change the
entry. If the new cost is different, cross out the
old cost and write in the new cost (see
examples on page 3).

13. Should I record subsidized/reimbursed
expenses?
Yes, but if someone not on your list pays for
or helps pay for an expense or if you will be
reimbursed for an expense, only record any
extra amount that you or someone on your list
has to pay.

14. What should I do about shipping &
handling costs?
Include the shipping & handling cost in the total
price of the item. If the shipping & handling
covered multiple items, include the shipping &
handling in the total price of one item from the
order.

15. What’s the difference between a
concession stand and a mobile vendor?
A concession stand has to stay in a permanent
location and a mobile vendor does not. Some
mobile vendors may seem permanent because
they are usually in the same location, but they
are still considered mobile vendors because
they have the option to change locations.

16. How do I categorize the establishment for
Meals, Snacks, and Drinks Away from Home?
■ Fast food, Take-out, Delivery, Concession

You pay BEFORE you eat/drink
■ Full Services Places

You pay after you eat/drink
■ Vending Machines or Mobile Vendors

Include vending machines, carts, and
trucks that move from place to place
