A Fourth of July picnic including hot dogs, cheeseburgers, pork spare ribs, potato salad, baked beans, lemonade and chocolate milk will cost 5 percent more than last year but still comes in at less than $6 per person, the American Farm Bureau Federation said in a news release today.

Farm Bureau members — 84 volunteer shoppers in 25 states — checked retail prices for summer picnic foods at their local grocery stores for this informal survey that revealed the average cost for a summer picnic for 10 is $58.72, or $5.87 per person.
