How to read these prices

Every item this board watches, the figure we hold for it, and the date that figure took effect. A dash is a gap in our record: we have no announcement to point to for that item.

These are single prices, not an index. A figure for what the island costs overall would need a fixed basket priced in the same shops every month, and nobody publishes that here.

Red — needs attention

Red appears on this board in two situations: the newest price we hold is over six months old and you should not read it as today’s, or there is a live source that is not us — a pump, a counter, a bill. It is never our own view of what things cost.
