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: “MILK”.
- Data week: ads for the week of September 28, 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 1,341. History since 2014.
- BLS comparison: an approximate match. BLS tracks whole milk; ads here are any fat level, per gallon. BLS averages include both sale and regular prices.
- Sources: USDA AMS “Weekly Grocery Store Dairy Feature Activity” (report 2995); BLS series APU0000709112. How we check the data.
