Laura Franks 4th Quarter, 2010 Bexley Consumer Price Report

December 14, 2010, Script for Bexley Consumer Price Index Fourth Quarter, 2010.



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

The Bexley CPI reports on the aggregate prices paid for a uniform basket of merchandise purchased at retail in Bexley, Ohio 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 fourth quarter, 2010, compared to the third quarter, 2010, Bexley prices showed a 10% decrease. This decrease was the result of two factors. First: one item was marked down a very significant 50%. Second: one item that was discounted last quarter was returned to a pre-sale cost which was actually 9% lower than it had been during the previous two quarters. In other words, the store had lowered the baseline price of this item without marking it as a sale item.

Of note: the total cost of the market basket for this quarter was the lowest of quarters during 2010.

Once again with retail prices like this, I definitely conclude that it is always nice to live in Bexley..

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 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 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.
