To research local prices, we are using a national list of goods and services for which prices are regularly gathered. To this, we are also adding a few new items that are not included on the national list [*].
In addition to local prices, we will be looking at what we call ‘the rest of the story.’ For instance, if you wanted to see a movie that has just been released, how far would you have to drive and how long would it take you to get there? |

This is a list of goods and services for which we will be gathering and comparing local prices.
