(6) Household Products. What kind of household products (not food) do you buy on a<br />

regular basis? Where? How would you handle things differently, if we could provide<br />

these things more cheaply through bulk buying?<br />

(7) Stores: Tell us something about how/where you normally get the food for your<br />

family? What kinds of things would you normally get at each place? How often would<br />

you buy there?<br />

� Corner convenience store<br />

� Large grocery stores such as Sobeys/ Dominion<br />

� Wal-Mart/ Costco<br />

� Middle size store such as Coleman‟s or <strong>Food</strong>land<br />

� Pharmacy or drug store<br />

� <strong>Food</strong> bank<br />

(8) <strong>Buying</strong> on Sale: One of the things we hope to do with the Level <strong>Best</strong> <strong>Club</strong> is to buy<br />

things on sale. When you see food you would like to buy on sale, what are the barriers<br />

that would keep you from buying?<br />

� Transportation<br />

� Money<br />

� Child Care<br />

(9) Do you or your family have any special needs around food (such as allergies)?<br />

(10) How Families Can Help. When we find out what all of the families need/want on a<br />

regular basis, we will set up a list of things which we will try to arrange to buy on a<br />

regular basis. We hope to buy wholesale, so things will be a little less expensive. We will<br />

look at cost as well as convenience in organizing things so families can share some<br />

items, such as a block of cheese or a purchase of 24 rolls of toilet paper. <strong>The</strong>n, we will<br />

provide a shopping list for you to choose what you want. We will be working together<br />

all the time, to get the best deals for our level best members. We hope our families will<br />

be active participants in this. If you know of upcoming sales, you can let us know and<br />

we might be able to purchase it in bulk for all of the families.<br />

(11) Confidentiality<br />

I understand that this information will be used for planning buyer‟s club purchases and<br />

that the information about my family will be combined with that of other families for<br />

developing reports for the funders, but that my name and the name of family members<br />

will not be included.<br />
