Average price of butter
Average retail price of stick butter, per pound (453.6 grams), in US dollars, for the U.S. city average (all urban consumers), monthly, from the Average Price Data of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (series APU0000FS1101).
BLS computes average prices from the prices it collects for the Consumer Price Index in 75 urban areas, not seasonally adjusted. BLS advises using them for the price level in a month and the CPI for price change over time. October 2025 was not collected during the federal government shutdown. BLS began this series in April 2018. The older series for salted grade AA stick butter (1980 to April 2012) has a narrower item definition and is not joined to it.
