What this number means: the average advertised sale price in grocery-store weekly ads across the Northeast, not the price at any one store, and not the everyday shelf price. Eggs, dozen, large white, conventional, per dozen; ads for the week of October 19, 2026. The BLS comparison is national only.

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 labels: “LARGE WHITE” / “WHITE LARGE”.
  • 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 476. History since 2014.
  • BLS comparison: a close match. BLS: Grade A large eggs, any color, per dozen. BLS averages include both sale and regular prices.
  • Sources: USDA AMS “Weekly Grocery Store Egg Feature Activity” (report 2757); BLS series APU0000708111. 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 Northeast · Download weekly prices (CSV) · Report a correction.
