According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, a party for 10 people should only set you back $52.80 this 4th of July...TOTAL.
That's about $5.28 per person.
The amount is based on 114 volunteer shoppers in 34 states, checking retail prices at their local grocery store to determine overall costs.
According to the report, that cost will get you:
- eight quarter-pound hamburgers and buns with cheese slices
- eight hotdogs and buns
- four pounds of pork spare ribs
- ketchup and mustard
- three pounds of Deli potato salad
- 28-ounces of baked beans
- 15 ounces of corn chips
- two quarts of lemonade
- watermelon for dessert
Now if you want to add vanilla ice cream to your cookout, the AFBF finds that 1.5 quarts will set you back $3.58, which means it'll cost $56.38, or less than $6 a person.
