These are prices neighbours report paying — not official prices, and not advice on where to buy. Anyone can read the board; reporting a price takes a free account, which keeps it honest. We show the median of recent reports once at least 3 people have reported an item, so no single number sets the figure. A report ages off after about 45 days, so the board stays current on its own.
These are prices neighbours have paid at the store in Churchill — not official prices, not a flyer, and not advice on where to shop or what is fair. Prices swing with what's on the shelf, the season, and how the rail line is running. One report isn't a price, so the board waits for a few before it shows a figure. Milk, infant formula and fresh fruit and vegetables are subsidised here through Manitoba's Affordable Food in Remote Manitoba (AFFIRM) program, so those should already be lower at the till.
