## How these numbers are made

Every figure comes from dated observations at named providers, compared against published home tariffs and price lists. The percentage is the midpoint of the local price against the midpoint of the home price, and stops at 99 for anything that still costs money. Items without a price on both sides are counted but not compared. Every price carries its observation date, however old, and none is left out for age.
