Is there a website that I can type a barcode into and it will tell me what the product is and how much it was?

Best answer:

No…you may be able to Google some UPC labels, but the actual product/price/etc. are programmed locally at each store. You may have one product that 5 different stores are selling, but are all different prices. Factor in special promotions or sales and you can see why they would all be different and the need to program the UPCs locally.

    upcdatabase.com/itemform.asp

    it doesn’t quote prices because those are set by the stores, but it’ll tell you what the product is. Hope this helps.

    The average UPC does not include a price; the UPC is assigned by the manufacturer and is part of the packaging. Retailers have databases which link the UPC to a database to obtain the price when the product is scanned. Some retailers will add additional barcode labels to the product that contain the price or serial number information.
