Definition and sources
  • How it's averaged: each advertised price is weighted by the number of stores USDA reports running it. That store count is summed across qualifying ads, so a store running two qualifying ads may count twice.
  • USDA label: “AVOCADOS” / “HASS”.
  • Data week: ads for the week of October 17, 2026, published by USDA on October 23, 2026. USDA publishes these weekly, on Fridays; this site checks for new reports every 30 minutes.
  • Coverage: USDA-reported store count 322. History since 2014.
  • BLS comparison: we don’t show a closely matching BLS average-price series for this item.
  • Sources: USDA AMS “Weekly Grocery Store Specialty Crops Feature Activity” (report 3324). How we check the data.

Ad prices are advertised sale prices, averaged across stores by how many stores USDA reports running each price. Store counts aren't independent observations: many stores can share one chain's ad. All groceries in the Southwest · Download weekly prices (CSV) · Report a correction.
