Despite high inflation, grilling out this year might be cheaper than a year ago as several July Fourth staples have fallen in price.
After reaching a record high in 2022, the cost for this year's Fourth of July cookout will be slightly cheaper, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation .
The list includes hamburger buns, cheese, ground beef, cookies, ice cream, strawberries, chips, chicken breast, pork chops, pork and beans, lemonade and potato salad. All told, the cookout would be expected to cost someone $67.73. Although cheaper than last year, the cost of this hypothetical cookout would still be 14% higher than in 2021.
Ground beef is a bit more expensive this year as drought conditions have reduced the number of available cattle, the AFBF reports. The Farm Bureau uses volunteer shoppers in 240 different stores in the U.S.
