What can we do?
As consumers we can at the very least be weary of price fluctuations and be more careful and conservative with our budgeting. Price Lens is a project designed to help users understand prices beyond what shelves tell us, make informed decisions, save money and be more aware of the money environment that we live in.
Beware of price trends within key products
The inflation basket represents essential products selected by economic authorities to track consumer prices. The selection can change over time, but Price Lens keeps an eye on price trends on products that matter forever. Who doesn't care about the price of essentials like tuna, eggs, milk, etc.?
