USDA AMS advertised retail food prices, weekly
Weekly advertised (flyer) retail prices for fresh produce, potatoes and onions from USDA AMS Specialty Crops Market News (National Conventional Summary). One row per item (commodity/variety/unit) per Friday report with this-week, last-week and last-year ad counts and weighted-average advertised prices (USD), plus ML-ready derived features: price relatives week-over-week and year-over-year (fresh-food advertised price index components), promotional intensity (ad-count WoW/YoY change, item share of total ads), and report-level category/organic mix. USDA public-domain data, transcribed from the official PDFs; two weekly snapshots (2026-01-23, 2026-01-30), grows as further reports are transcribed.
