A Fourth of July cookout for ten will cost $67.73, based on the 2023 American Farm Bureau Federation marketbasket survey. The $67.73 grocery bill is 3% lower than in 2022, but still approximately 14% higher than just two years ago. The price of ground beef has risen 4% as drought drove up feed prices and lowered the number of available cattle.
