Notes: Food in as-purchased form, which includes uncooked grain products; raw, canned, and frozen vegetables; fruit juice concentrates; and meat with
bones. Components of the market baskets are discussed in terms of pounds; therefore, fluids such as milk are weighted more prominently than are dry
foods, and juice concentrates are weighted less prominently than are their reconstituted forms.
The numbers are rounded; thus, when summed, they may not equal the respective totals.
