Thanksgiving Dinner Costs Drop Amid Grocery Price Concerns

Thanksgiving dinner costs for 10 people are expected to be around $58 this year, a 5% decrease from last year but still 20% higher than pre-pandemic prices in 2019, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. While adjusted for inflation, this year's cost is among the lowest in decades, many Americans remain concerned about grocery prices, with some hosts reducing guest numbers or asking guests to contribute dishes to manage expenses.

Summer cookout costs fluctuate: Here's what to expect for Fourth of July.

The American Farm Bureau Federation's annual survey shows that the cost of a Fourth of July cookout for a party of 10 is down 3% from last year's record high, with families expected to pay $67.73 for 12 staple items. Chicken breast, lemonade, and chocolate chip cookies saw price drops, while hamburger buns, beef, and potato salad were up in price. The cost of this year's cookout is still 14% higher than two years ago, and farmers are not benefiting from higher prices at the grocery store, as their share of the retail food dollar is just 14%.
