all other food service options—a trend that could linger.
1.Q: How has your spending per month changed during the COVID-19 outbreak compared to before the COVID-19 outbreak for each of the below items?
2.Q: For each of the following meal options, how do you expect your spending per month to change after the COVID-19 outbreak compared to now (during the COVID-19 outbreak)?
