Prices ranged from $1.50 in the Southwest to $3.38 in the Northeast.

The big percentage gain in yogurt ad volume is for 32 ounce Greek yogurt, with ads nearly tripling the number two weeks ago and six times greater than one year ago. The national average price, $4.29, is up 63 cents from two weeks ago and up 66 cents from a year ago. 4-6 ounce Greek yogurt’s average price, $0.99, is up 1 cent from two weeks ago but down 2 cents from a year ago. 4-6 ounce yogurt has an average price of $.54, up 3 cents from two weeks ago but even with a year ago.
