Where can I find the list of food products the Feds use to measure cost increases?

I know they used to have a "grocery cart" of food products they used to measure prices over the years. I've Googled for the list, but can't come up with the right combination to get it.

I'd like to see where they get the 4% increase.

1. Not sure The Fed lists these at the bottom of their data page.

2. It's secret.

And it's locked up in Dick Cheney's safe.

Can't let them terrist's know what food costs.

3. 4%?

Easy, just compare last week's receipt to this week's. Real beer has increased 33% since November.

4. Hey, if it had only raised 4%, I'd be happy.

Did you see the cartoon...it is now cheaper to beer than gas, so drink but don't drive?

Can we make it thru the next year?
