Notes: Price indices are the cost of purchasing the recommended weekly servings of fruits and vegetables according to the USDA Thrifty Food Plan for a representative household of 2 adults and 2 children from fresh, whole items: 24.5 pounds (11.1 kg) of fruit and 31.5 pounds (14.3 kg) of vegetables). Not all price indices can be calculated for all stores because of variation in which prices for individual goods are available. Store types and CBG characteristics calculated over the set of stores for which a basic fruit index or a basic vegetable index or both could be calculated. Means are reported ± SD. 1 Conditional means (mean price over stores with non-missing price information) are reported ± SD. |
