Fired up about barbecue costs this Memorial Day? Blame the condiments.
CBSN
Having friends and family over for a Memorial Day barbecue will cost you more this year, with the price of many grilling staples having risen even more sharply than that of other groceries.
Americans will pay an average of just over 10% more this year than in 2023 for barbecue basics including ground beef, hot dogs, buns, relish, ketchup and mustard, according to Datasembly, which measures weekly pricing changes for items collected from more than 150,000 stores across the U.S.
Last year, the blow to consumers' wallets was alleviated by a decline in beef prices. Now, beef prices are up nearly 15%, the data provider stated. But, as with Memorial Day last year, the price of condiments has seen the biggest spike, with relish costing an eye-popping nearly 49% more today than a year ago, Datasembly found.
