Limits
National averages only (no regional prices), for Stats NZ's 74 standard items and pack sizes; Stats NZ's file gives no count of prices behind an average. These are weighted average prices compiled for price statistics, not receipts, and not the price at any one shop or online. Some items change definition or are dropped between releases.
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.
