Consumers' attitudes and expectations towards various aspects of the
economic situation in the Netherlands and the personal financial
situation.

Suppose your net household income were to fall substantially, say by 10 %,
on what would you economise most?
New categories
The categories of this question were outdated and are modernised and
adapted to better fit the international COICOP classification. The
categories 'Food etc.', 'Clothing etc.' and 'Do not know' are comparable
in time. From June 2011 on the data will not be comparable to earlier
data. This also means that there will be no data for the second quarter
of 2011.

Among other things: Dine out, go out, club membership, subscriptions
newspaper, magazines, television, books, (download) movies and music.
