Well, the price of groceries goes up every day

Would not surprise me. Hell I reckon there's Bosses out there that would charge you for the privilege of working for them.
Keeping track of the Mean price in Australia of basic shopping price for this site over the last 40 weeks or so.
Justifying collection process.
Firstly, Getting the price from the retailers digital store front with Geo-tracking or cookie Data. (usually load for items at a time in TABs collate to spreadsheet and edit changes, I find it ironic
If anyone's decent at making a nice Pie Chart or such, I got some comparative pricing over the last 40 Weeks in CSV.
Surprisingly not all products increase in price some have reduced, not talking tomatoes and potatoes but Staples like Salt.
Also observed how it took the media a fortnight to reflect on the increase in Milk and Bread at Coles & Woolies a few months ago, but how they don't present the reduced prices of items from Black & Gold at IGA. Bias in the bad news gets more press then good news?
