Hot dogs and hamburgers will cost you more this July Fourth

WaEx:

This Fourth of July, cookouts will be more expensive than ever before as everybody gathers for fireworks, food, and parades with friends and family.

Despite a significant decline from its peak of 9.1% in June 2022, inflation still exceeds the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, standing at 3.27% as of May. High inflation has put a significant financial strain on most households, with grocery prices rising over 21% since 2021. more

  1. Hot dogs and hamburgers are peasant¹ food. Quality people have grilled lobster tails, oysters, and tomahawk steaks. And quality people have no interest in the cost: it’s pocket change.

    1. I’m a peasant. Gimme ketchup on the burger and mustard on the dawg. Heavy on the onions!

    “And quality people have no interest in the cost: it’s pocket change.”

    …its FREE to Democrat politicians, courtesy of you and I and the taxes they forcibly extract from us on every level.

    “Ya just have to be faster than the Loss Prevention guy.”

    …do they still HAVE Loss Prevention guys? Every single video I see has a guy in a SECURITY windbreaker just standing there watching someone loot and making no attempt to stop them.

    I seem to remember something about a gay-sounding clothes store, Lululemon or some such, actually firing their own employees for interfering with a shoplifter.

    So why fear the Loss Prevention guy? Hed probably help you carry it!

  4. Every single year it “costs more”. But the last three it’s a LOT more. I could cheerfully bitch slap those assholes that have the temerity to get in front of a news camera and say “Wages have generally kept pace with inflation”. Where exactly is that happening?

  5. We always do smoked brisket, pork butt and bologna along with baked beans, potato salad and coleslaw. This year it cost me over $300. Screw them and what they say inflation is.

    Hot dogs with Kamala ketchup for the kids.

    We are blessed to afford charcoal, 80/20 hamburgers and ballpark hot dogs. Thank you Biden, Speaker Johnson and Chuck Schumer for us to feast on the Fourth as you further trample our rights and freedoms.
