About A website that tracks US food prices every day
Food prices today for onions, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, avocados and strawberries: USDA wholesale and shipping point quotes with price charts, change against a year earlier, grocery ad prices by region and daily updates. Latest report 2 Oct 2026.
In the maker’s words
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) publishes daily food price data for about 290 commodities on: - what growers were paid at shipping point - what buyers paid at the big city wholesale markets - what prices supermarkets advertised in their weekly ads This data comes out as dozens of separate text reports and PDFs, one per market, with no history and no way to see how prices change over time. I think this should be public data that is easy to access and understand, so I built an open-source tracker for it. Github: https://github.com/kadoa-org/food-price-monitor
