Sizzling inflation is raising the cost of July 4th BBQs by almost 21% to $71.98, not including alcohol.
A new study from the Political Calculations blog found that the cost of the traditional July 4th cookout, including everything from hamburgers and buns to ice cream and homemade potato salad, has increased by 20.9% to $71.98 in the past year. And that’s not including alcohol. The blog based its calculations using 2021 data from the American Farm Bureau Federation, and comparing the figures with recent prices at Walmart WMT, -0.53%.
Still, a couple of barbecue must-haves are actually dropping in price. The cost of two pints of strawberries has dipped by 15.5% to $4.48, this report found. And a 13-ounce bag of chocolate-chip cookies has gone down by 10.9% to $4.02.
