Grocery prices in Singapore, from Department of Statistics Singapore. This source is answered live, so the page shows how to ask, not a number.

An official average or median published by a statistics office or regulator, not individual sales.

ProofPrice reads Department of Statistics Singapore when you ask, so the answer is always the latest published. It comes with its period, its source and its licence; a range built from records is given only when at least 5 records sit behind it.

Where this comes from

Source
Average Retail Prices of Selected Consumer Items, Monthly (SingStat table M213761), published by Department of Statistics Singapore (SingStat)
Licence
Singapore Open Data Licence v1.0. SingStat's Terms of Use say that use of Datasets made available through its website (including the Table Builder) is subject to the Singapore Open Data Licence, which allows worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free use, commercially or non-commercially, with acknowledgement of the source and a link to the licence.
Attribution
Contains information from Average Retail Prices of Selected Consumer Items (SingStat table M213761) accessed on the date in this answer's retrieved_at field from the Department of Statistics Singapore (SingStat), which is made available under the terms of the Singapore Open Data Licence version 1.0 https://data.gov.sg/open-data-licence . Figures are passed on as published; the change on a year earlier is calculated by ProofPrice. This is not an official SingStat product and SingStat does not endorse it.
How fresh the source is
Monthly, about three weeks after the month ends, with the month named in every answer
Limits
National averages only (no regional prices), for SingStat's standard items and pack sizes; SingStat does not say how many price quotes stand behind an average. These are shelf and stall prices recorded for the Consumer Price Index, not receipts, and not the price at any one shop. From January 2024 the items are based on the 2024 CPI basket, so brands, varieties and outlets can change between baskets.
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.
