 The cost of your July 4th burger is going up in South Carolina. Rebecca Hughes reports. Just a slight increase from last year. USDA economist Megan Schweitzer breaks it down. Prices for our four ounces of ground beef rose by five cents. Prices for our two ounce slice of tomato rose by one cent. And then our one ounce of cheddar cheese declined by two cents. And prices of bread and lettuce stayed largely the same.
