July 4th Grill Costs Rise But Not Inflation | Dallas News
Description
This Fourth of July cookout just got pricier—your classic burger, chicken, potato salad, and ice cream spread now costs more than ever, hitting its highest since 2016. But here’s the twist: when you factor in inflation, your money still buys roughly the same amount of fun food as last year. Ground beef leads the charge with a five-plus percent jump—the worst in survey history—thanks to drought and rising rancher costs. Strawberries and pork and beans also saw big spikes. But don’t panic: potato salad’s cheaper than last year (thanks to lower eggs), and chips dipped slightly. West Coast families are paying the most, but overall, inflation’s still lurking—even at backyard BBQs.
