I posted on FB and Reddit asking local Winnipeggers if they’re interested in helping out with developing this newsletter.
I don't plan to promote this newsletter actively while working on a good looking and easy to read report every week - but I WILL be providing the details for everyone - and I hope you will help me know what you'd find most useful so I can put that "raw data" into a useful format and thus create a useful newsletter for Winnipeggers.
Here are a few file samples I can develop each week and I will be trying to transform them into more readable, better copy and bundles of foods such as “Baskets” - and with some history over time perhaps even a pricing trends section.
Please let me know here in the comments if there is any feedback on the data i have here or other articles, and your thoughts on what might be most useful.
Thanks again!
