ABOUT 612EATS
Bloomberg for food. Track grocery prices like stocks.
Food prices affect everyone, but the data is buried in government spreadsheets and ugly PDFs. We take free, public data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and present it like a financial terminal — because food is a commodity too.
Eggs up 12%? Milk flat? Chicken dropped 3%? Track it all here with ticker symbols, real-time charts, gainers and losers — just like stocks.
Government Data
All prices come from the BLS Consumer Price Index — real survey data from thousands of stores nationwide.
Updated Monthly
New price data drops every month from BLS. We pull it automatically so you always see the latest.
Historical Trends
5+ years of price history. Spot trends, track inflation, understand the bigger picture.
Regional Prices

Multiple Categories
Dairy, meat, produce, bakery, beverages, and pantry staples — all tracked in one place.
Open & Free
