How to read this table
Choosing between absolute and relative indicators provides different perspectives on budget expenditures. The cost in rubles shows the real burden on consumer spending in a given year, while the percentage change in the basket's cost relative to December of the previous year illustrates the inflation rate for this list of goods. Comparing these indicators helps determine in which periods price increases were most significant for households whose expenditures are closest to this hypothetical minimum food level
