 You're going to pay more for the burgers, dogs, and other typical 4th of July food items this year. How much more depends on where you are, says Courtney Schmidt with the Wells Fargo Agri-Food Institute. When you look at the recent CPI data, food at home was up 1% versus that food away from home was up 4%. And a big part of that is those overhead costs, their labor expenses are going up. And so those are really driving that away from home cost up.
