Build your own grocery basket

Choose items and how much you buy. We price your list at the average advertised sale price in US grocery ads over the latest 4 weeks of USDA reports (through the week of October 19, 2026), and compare it with the same weeks a year earlier.

How it works: each item's price is the average of its weekly advertised sale prices in the latest 4 weeks of reports, converted to the unit shown, times your quantity. This is a benchmark from ads at many stores, not a quote from one store, and the prices may not all be on offer at the same time. An item with no ads in the latest 4 weeks for the region is left out of the total and listed. The year-ago comparison uses only items with prices in both periods.
