Answer 1

There is no universal website for something like this, but you can probably get some idea by creating a basket of goods and searching item by item.

Answer 2

You should try the US Dept of Labor Stats Website.

They report on Consumer Price Index and I guarentee you can find average prices for goods somewhere there.
