Jul. 3—Soaring food prices don’t have to dampen backyard cookouts as Americans celebrate the Fourth of June.
“Inflation is impacting us all, and it’s leading to increased demand at the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and its partner agencies,” said the nonprofit organization’s spokesman Jennifer Sands who offers some tips on planning a celebratory meal without breaking the bank.
Many families will be looking to cut costs as a new survey reports that Americans will pay nearly $70 more for their favorite Independence Day cookout foods such as hamburgers, chicken breasts, pork chops, potato salad and ice cream.
