Since the Price Index’s inception in November, 2010, I’ve provided monthly results for each item for that month as well as the two preceding months. Following is a synopsis of the monthly results for the PracticalDad Price Index marketbasket of 46 items, both in nominal and index results. Now that there is a sufficient number of months data collected, I’m also including a three month moving average of the index.
