Returns the official average or median shop price that the national statistics office publishes for a standard item, built from the shelf prices its price collectors record in shops for the consumer price index (shelf prices observed by price collectors, not receipts and not what one shopper paid; some offices also use retailers' scanner data), with the exact item definition (for example 'Full-fat milk, per 2 litres'), the unit, the reference month, the change on a year earlier where the office publishes comparable figures (an answer carries none where the office advises against comparing months), the official source and licence. Each country defines its own standard items, so the item definition in the answer matters and related definitions are listed. How fresh: Canada: monthly, not live: Statistics Canada publishes each month's averages about five weeks after the month ends (August 2026 was released on 7 October 2026), and every answer states its reference month; the United Kingdom: monthly: ONS publishes each month's file about three to four weeks after the month ends (August 2026 appeared in late September); our copy is refreshed daily and each answer states its reference month; Ireland: monthly, published with the Consumer Price Index (usually the second week of the following month); each answer states its reference month; countries WFP surveys (Africa, Asia, Middle East, Latin America): WFP files are updated about monthly (HDX file last modified 2026-10-12); the newest observation in a country is often 1 to 5 months old; our copy is refreshed daily; the United States: monthly: BLS releases the new month about the 10th to 14th of the following month; our copy is refreshed daily and each answer states its reference month. This is a published national (or regional) average, not a range of individual transactions, so the range fields can be null. Do not use for the price at a particular supermarket or online shop, loyalty-card or special-offer prices, restaurant meals, petrol or diesel, or for other countries.
