What this number means: the average advertised sale price in grocery-store weekly ads across Hawaii, not the price at any one store, and not the everyday shelf price. Ground beef, 80–89% lean, fresh, all pack sizes, per lb; 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 label: “GROUND BEEF 80-89%”.
  • 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 25. History since 2014.
  • BLS comparison: an approximate match. BLS tracks 100% ground beef of any fat level; ads here are 80–89% lean. BLS averages include both sale and regular prices.
  • Sources: USDA AMS “Weekly Grocery Store Beef Feature Activity” (report 3228); BLS series APU0000703112. How we check the data.
