Families can expect to pay $67.73 for a party of 10, down 3% from last year’s record high, according to a survey from the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Families are still feeling the pinch of high inflation along with other factors keeping prices high,” said Roger Cryan, chief economist at the American Farm Bureau Federation.
This year’s cookout cost is the second highest on record, following last year’s record setting number — $69.68 for a party of 10.
The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), has been conducting the survey since 2013.
Potato prices also rose because of poor growing weather, the Farm Bureau said.
