Laura Franks Bexley Consumer Price Index for the 2d quarter 2014

Laura Franks reports the Bexley Consumer Price Index as of Second Quarter, 2014.

The Bexley CPI reports on the aggregate prices paid for a uniform basket of merchandise purchased at retail in Bexley and nearby retail stores.

The Bexley CPI measures the change of prices for ordinary retail purchases made by Bexley residents.

The Bexley Consumer Price Index can be compared to the price changes reported by the US Department of Labor.  The comparison can provide useful information for Bexley consumers about local price changes compared to price changes in other parts of the United States.

For the Second Quarter, 2014, the total cost of the standard market basket was $20.89.  Compared to the total market basket for the First Quarter, 2014, ($20.44) this is a $0.45 increase or stated as a percentage, a 2.5% increase.  Year-to-year comparison for the Second Quarters, 2013 and 2014 are $21.43 for 2013 and $20.89 for 2014, or a decrease of 0.54%.  As a year-over-year comparison, this is a  0.56% decrease.

Nothing exciting.

Looking at price changes for specific market-basket items, one home-office item showed a quarter-to-quarter decline of $0.58 and a common paper item showed an increase of $1.00 in its price.  This increase was attributable to an in-store coupon offered in the First Quarter 2013.

This has been a wonderful Spring in Bexley and retail prices in this little municipality are pretty stable.

Also a reminder that a radio station has bills to pay.  If you can help with a donation of money, equipment or you skills, please donate.

With retail prices holding steady, life in Bexley is nice.

Laura Franks Bexley CPI, Second Quarter, 2010. Reported Tuesday June 8.

This is Laura Franks reporting the Bexley Consumer Price Index for the second quarter, 2010.

The Bexley CPI reports on the aggregate prices paid for a uniform basket of merchandise purchased at retail in Bexley and nearby retail stores.

The Bexley CPI measures the change of prices for typical retail purchases made by Bexley residents.

The Bexley Consumer Price Index can be compared to the price changes reported by the Bureau of Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. The comparison can provide useful information for Bexley consumers about local price changes compared to price changes in other parts of the United States.

As of the second quarter, 2010 compared to the first quarter, 2010, Bexley prices showed a 3% decrease. One item was discounted by 41%, but this was not quite as significant as it sounds because the non-sale price on this item was actually $.40 higher than last quarter. Also effecting the calculations were two (2) food items: one (1) of which was returned to it’s pre-sale cost and the other had it’s price raised by 6% from last quarter.

Still, no matter how you look at it a 3% decrease in prices is good and makes it even nicer to live in Bexley.

And just remember, as the country song says "God is great, beer is good and people are crazy….."

Laura Franks reports Bexley CPI for Third Quarter, 2009

This is Laura Franks reporting the Bexley Consumer Price Index for the Third Quarter, 2009.

The Bexley CPI reports on the aggregate prices paid for a uniform basket of merchandise purchased at retail in Bexley and nearby retail stores.

The Bexley Consumer Price Index can be compared to the price changes reported by the Bureau of Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. The comparison can provide useful information for Bexley consumers about local price changes compared to price changes in other parts of the United States.

As of the third quarter, 2009 compared to the second quarter, 2009, Bexley prices showed a marked increase of 14%. This increase is attributable to two factors. Two items that were previously marked down, one 44% and the other 29%, were returned to their pre-sale cost.
In addition, for the first time since the firstt quarter 2008 none of the items in our market basket were discounted. The result is the highest total cost we’ve seen since the inception of the Bexley CPI in October 2007.

Even though this is the most significant increase in prices for our market basket for 2009, I still conclude that it is always nice to live in Bexley.

Laura Franks Bexley CPI Report Second Quarter, 2009.

Listen to the podcast of Laura Frank's Report



Laura Franks reported that most Bexley retail prices in her standard market basket are unchanged for the second quarter, 2009. Nonetheless, because of the recorded prices of two items, her consumer price index showed an overall price decline for the quarter.

As of the second quarter, 2009 compared to the first quarter, 2009, Bexley prices showed a marked decrease of 10.70%. This decline is attributable to two factors. One is a significant 29% markdown on one(1) personal hygiene item. The second factor is the result of a stationery item being out of stock and having to replace it with the same product, but in a smaller size, and therefore priced at $1.00 less than the regular market basket item.

Even if the regular stationery item had been available at its first quarter price, we still would have had a little over 5% decrease in Bexley retail prices.

Except for these two(2) items, the prices on the remainder of the market basket purchases stayed the same as the first quarter 2009.
