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. Sour cream, 16 oz tub, per 16 oz tub; 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 label: “SOUR CREAM”.
  • 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 1,540. History since 2014.
  • BLS comparison: we don’t show a closely matching BLS average-price series for this item.
  • Sources: USDA AMS “Weekly Grocery Store Dairy Feature Activity” (report 2995). 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.
