Retail or wholesale?  Fruit puree prices depend on the flavor and as I'm sure you know couverture prices vary widely per the brand and formulation.  My main wholesale suppliers in Seattle are Merlino Foods and the Peterson Co, if you look through their catalogs and select some items for which you would like prices, you may be able to call or email and get that info.  Otherwise, I pay around $75 for a 3kg bag of Valrhona, and the Felchlin couvertures I use are $6.17/# for Sao Palme 60%,  and $10.26/# for Maracaibo Creole 49% from the suppliers mentioned above.   I paid $2.35 per pound for unsalted butter yesterday at Cash & Carry, but that was on sale, it is usually closer to $3 and high-fat or specialty (plugra) butter is more.
