Summer Grill Costs Are Soaring

Grill season just got pricier—beef up 14%, chicken and pork up 3%, hot dogs 5%, and even sides like potato salad and cornbread are costing more. Convenience foods keep climbing due to labor and packaging costs. While produce may ease, desserts and pre-cut veggies are still rising. Overall grocery bills are up 4.2% year-over-year, matching broader inflation. Save cash by making sides at home—deviled eggs are down 14%, watermelon and strawberries cheaper. Opt for chicken or pork over beef, and ask guests to BYOB. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
