Rising Costs of Barbecue Staples and Groceries in the U.S.

Americans are experiencing higher prices for barbecue staples and groceries this Labor Day weekend, with significant increases in the cost of items like propane, ground beef, hotdogs, chicken, beer, lettuce, salad dressing, and more. Gas prices have also risen by 50% since January 2021, impacting travel costs. Rising grocery prices have led to increased concern about inflation, with many Americans disapproving of Biden's handling of the issue.
