Submission guidelines for Milk, Whole

Whole milk, one gallon only. Not 2%, skim, organic, or lactose-free. Any brand. The gallon is the most consistent unit across stores.

How this works

Shoppers across America can submit what they actually paid for everyday staples. We compare those prices to the government's official monthly figures for the same items, and the findings are often surprising.

About Milk, Whole Prices

Whole milk per gallon is one of the most standardized grocery items in America — the unit of measure is universal and the product has no package-size variation, making it an ideal inflation benchmark. The government's official monthly average is tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CrowdCPI shows what shoppers actually paid at the register across different store types, from discount grocers to warehouse clubs to conventional supermarkets.
