Your Fourth of July celebration will cost roughly the same as last year, but inflation is still driving up prices on many cookout favorites.
The Farm Bureau’s “Cost of Summer Cookout” this year is landing at $7.09 per person, which is down $0.30 from last year, and is the second-highest since the survey began in 2013. Some items that will cost more this year include ground beef, pork and beans, and potato salad, but some cookout staples did come down in price.
Pork chops fell nine percent, chips are $0.10 cheaper, and hamburger buns fell nearly six percent over last year.
American Farm Bureau Associate Economist Samantha Ayoub joined RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander to talk about how this report compares to previous years, additional highlights from the survey, and what is contributing to the numbers.

The Sirloin is home to popular fabricated cuts but is first separated into the Top Sirloin Butt and Bottom Sirloin Butt. In the Top Sirloin, you’ll find steaks great for grilling, while the Bottom Sirloin provides cuts like Tri-Tip and Sirloin Bavette, which are good for roasting or grilling.
The brisket comes from the cattle’s breast, so it can be tougher because it is used for movement. An ideal cut for cooking low and slow on the barbecue or in a slow-cooker.
