Canadian Grocery Price Index

The CGPI, week by week

The CGPI is a weekly index of advertised grocery shelf prices across 13 cities and 21 banners. The headline and its nine category sub-indices are one estimator, not two: a matched-model Jevons index measured against a July 2026 base, with every price compared to the same product in the same store.
