- How are these dinner prices calculated for Vancouver?
- Every recipe is a complete plate (protein, starch, vegetable). We cost each one at every Vancouver banner we track using live shelf and sale prices, count only the portion a recipe actually uses for staples, and show the cheapest store's per-serving total. No estimates from national averages.
