Everything is so expensive that the subsidy is a relief

Who in your family usually does the shopping at the grocery store?
We have hired someone who does the courier service for us. He is a self-employed neighbor who provides this service.
Do you buy other “controlled”, “regulated” or “regulated” products by this system?
We received a donation module that they delivered. Outside of that, we look for everything in MLC stores or in buy-sell groups on social networks.
What products from the supply book do you consume most frequently? Do you leave any without removing in the month?
The products that we consume the most are rice, eggs, oil. I don't normally take out the soy mincemeat and the like.
How much of your formal income does the monthly purchase of the products in the notebook represent? Do you consider that your ability to acquire them has been affected since the monetary reform?
My income is irregular because it depends on the management I do, I am self-employed. Even so, I am not affected by the cost of regulated products, but the majority of the country is affected a lot, especially pensioners, elderly people.

How many days of the month would you say that the basic products of the notebook are enough for the family?
I would say between a week and 10 days approximately.
Do you exchange, buy, resell or give away any of the products assigned to you?
Usually not.
Do you think that the family diet could survive without the notebook? If they delivered more released products, do you think you could pay for them with your income and that it would be a positive change or would you prefer more subsidies?
It depends on the people who make up the nucleus. If there are elderly people or children it is impossible to survive without the passbook since most of the month you have to buy products on the street and they are so expensive that buying them subsidized is a relief, example: toilet paper cost 20 CUP, now in the market black costs from 120 to 150 CUP.

Do you consider that the products assigned by the supply book condition the way you prepare food?
In my case, I don't think it conditions the cooking of the food I eat.
Have you received any donation or external product at subsidized prices during the Covid19 period for the passbook? Can you describe it, as well as its origin?
They gave a module whose origin I do not know, that was immediately after the July 11 demonstrations. The content varied from region to region. We receive rice, lentils, pasta, oil. Some people were given milk, others wheat flour, or chicken.
