Methodological supplement for the provincial monthly average retail prices table.: CS62-0014/2020-8E-PDF
"The average prices in this table are calculated using scanner data (also known as transaction data) collected from Canadian retailers. Transaction data provide a comprehensive electronic record of the transactions made through a retailer’s point-of-sale system, and contain relevant pricing information, such as product descriptions and quantities sold. The use of transaction data for the calculation of the average prices in this table offers a significant quality advantage over traditional in-store collection, given the number of product prices available in the transaction data and the geographic coverage available"--page 3.
