The July 4 Cookout Hits a Record $73.82, With Beef Doing the Damage

  • Feeding 10 people at a Fourth of July cookout will cost about $73.82 this year, a record and up roughly 4% from 2025, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual survey.
  • The main culprit is beef, near all-time highs — but after adjusting for inflation, your barbecue is barely more expensive than it was a decade ago.
