Index level, weekly
This series is rebased to 100 in its own entry week (June 7, 2026), so its level is not comparable with another city, banner or category series. To compare series, use the absolute basket cost in dollars, or re-index each series to a shared reference week.

Week-over-week and since-inception changes only — the published record starts in June 2026, so there is no year-over-year comparison to make yet. Panel coverage: 13 cities, 22 banners, roughly 160 stores, a 50-item basket in 9 categories; Walmart and Costco are not covered and Giant Tiger coverage is partial. Read the methodology →
