　総務省が７日発表した２０２１年１１月の２人以上世帯の家計調査によると、１世帯当たりの消費支出は２７万７０２９円で、物価変動の影響を除く実質で前年同月比１．３％減少した。マイナスは４カ月連続。１１月は新型コロナウイルス感染者数の減少に伴う外出の増加で、食料など巣ごもり需要で増えていた支出が減った。（2022/01/07-11:20）

Household spending in Japan in November dropped 1.3 pct from a year before in price-adjusted real terms as a decrease in COVID-19 cases reduced stay-home demand, internal affairs ministry data showed Friday.
   Consumption spending by households comprising two or more members averaged 277,029 yen, falling for the fourth straight month, the ministry said.
   People went out more often, weighing on demand for food and other items that had been driven higher due to spending by people staying at home amid the pandemic.
   Expenditures on food sagged 3.0 pct, led by sharp falls in vegetables such as cabbage and spinach, and sea food including yellowtail and tuna. Spending on eating out was still lower than the year-before level.
   With people spending less time at home, spending on utilities dropped 7.1 pct.
