Indiana Farm Bureau Says Fourth Of July Cookout Costs Up 5%

The Fourth of July cookout will cost Hoosiers five percent more this year than last year.

Indiana Farm Bureau says feeding a group of ten people will cost 71-dollars-49-cents, slightly more than the national average.

INFB chief economist Dr. Todd Davis says prices are leveling out with inflation slowing down slightly and adds supply chain issues that have been prevalent over the last five years are “slowly getting worked out.”

The 71-dollars-49-cents includes ground beef, cheese, hamburger buns, pork chops, chicken breasts, potato salad, chips, ice cream, cookies, pork and beans, strawberries, and lemonade.
