What this number means: the average advertised sale price in grocery-store weekly ads across the Midwest, not the price at any one store, and not the everyday shelf price. Chicken wings, party wings (flats and drums), fresh, per lb; ads for the week of October 19, 2026.

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: “PARTY WINGS, FLATS AND DRUMS”.
  • Data week: ads for the week of October 19, 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 182. History since 2024.
  • BLS comparison: we don’t show a closely matching BLS average-price series for this item.
  • Sources: USDA AMS “Weekly Grocery Store Chicken Feature Activity” (report 2756). 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 Midwest · Download weekly prices (CSV) · Report a correction.
