What this number means: the average advertised sale price in grocery-store weekly ads across the South central, not the price at any one store, and not the everyday shelf price. Rotisserie chicken, whole, under 2 lb, each, per chicken; ads for the week of October 26, 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 labels: “WHOLE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN, < 2 LBS” / “ROTISSERIE WHOLE, LESS THAN 2 LBS.”.
  • Data week: ads for the week of October 26, 2026, published by USDA on October 30, 2026. USDA publishes these weekly, on Fridays; this site checks for new reports every 30 minutes.
  • Coverage: USDA-reported store count 68. History since 2014.
  • Possible comparability break: ad prices shifted about 12% up around USDA's September 2024 reporting redesign. We observed the shift; its cause and exact size can't be isolated.
  • 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 South central · Download weekly prices (CSV) · Report a correction.
