How the Data Was Collected
The archive uses a comparable basket of everyday goods and services, and for each item, the minimum verified observable price of the same product or the nearest comparable package is taken among the approved sources.
Promotional discounts, temporary coupons, bank promos and other items are not used as normal release prices; coverage may be narrower in older periods than in new releases, so the archive should be read as a historical reference for the period.
