I don't generally look up the price of cream cheese in the abstract. If I did, though, I'd probably look to BLS microdata (the Consumer Expenditure Survey and the data that are used as inputs into the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index). A lot of the data aren't public, but they do release public use files.
