Americans Paying Less for July 4 Cookouts Under Trump

Americans hosting Independence Day cookouts in 2025 will spend a good amount less this year than last year.

A Fourth of July barbecue, including cheeseburgers, pork chops, chicken, potato salad, fruit, ice cream, and other picnic staples for 10 guests, will cost $70.92 this year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

While that amount is up significantly from $52.80 recorded in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic and Bidenflation, it’s down 30 cents from a record-high $71.22 in 2024.
