THE GROCERY PRICE INDEX

About

Basket Report is the citable source for what staple groceries actually cost in the United States right now — one fixed basket, one number, charted monthly, sourced entirely from free U.S. government data.

What it is

The Basket Index tracks the real shelf price of 24 staple grocery items at the U.S. average, with per-item pages back to 1980 and a regional comparison. Every figure maps to a named BLS series and an ingestion date. See the full methodology.
