Figures as of
. This page is rebuilt when the daily price library is deployed.
How fresh the source is
Monthly items in the middle of the following month, annual items in January; collected into our price library every day, each answer states its reference month or year and INSEE's last-update date
Limits
National averages for metropolitan France only (no regional or city prices), for INSEE's standard items and pack sizes; INSEE gives no count of prices behind an average. These are average shelf prices observed for price statistics, not receipts, and not the price at any one shop or online. A few INSEE series are discontinued or have gaps; we skip those.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
