Monthly (the page states its own 'Last Updated' date)
Limits
Posted shelf prices that the Ministry shows for about 18 commodities and 13 outlets, not receipts and not what one shopper paid; promotions are not separated. Brands and pack sizes differ between outlets, so the range is a spread over outlets, converted to a price per kg, litre or piece. Each figure needs 5 or more outlet prices. The page holds the latest snapshot only; history builds from our own daily copy.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
