The average cost of a 4th of July cookout has decreased from 2022, but is still up significantly from 2021, a survey finds.
, the average cost for a 4th of July cookout will cost about $67.73 to feed 10 people, down just 3% or $2.27 per person from last year.In this undated file photo hotdogs, sausages, hamburgers and cheeseburgers are seen on a barbeque.
Although the organization's survey indicates that prices have decreased slightly from the record highs of 2022, the cost of a holiday weekend cookout is still up significantly from 2021 with the grocery bill approximately 14% higher than prices from that time.2023 comes in as the second-highest cost breakdown in a decade, since AFBF began the survey in 2013.
Cookout favorites that shoppers purchased for the survey included cheeseburgers, chicken breasts, pork chops, homemade potato salad, strawberries and ice cream, among other products."The slight downward direction in the cost of a cookout doesn't counter the dramatic increases we've seen over the past few years. Families are still feeling the pinch of high inflation along with other factors keeping prices high," AFBF Chief Economist Roger Cryan said.
The federation said a number of factors are to blame for those rising prices, including drought conditions that sent the cost of animal feed higher and reduced the number of cattle available. Plus, potato production is down due to poor weather, so consumer spending on spuds will be up for everything from fries to side dishes.Thanks to a reduced number of avian flu cases, that plagued the record-high poultry prices in 2022, chicken breasts and eggs are both lower this year.
