Index level, weekly
This series is rebased to 100 in its own entry week (July 19, 2026), so its level is not comparable with another city or banner series, or with the category sub-indices (which use a fixed base, the week of 13 July 2026). To compare these series, use the absolute basket cost in dollars, or re-index each series to a shared reference week.
