These two East Coast states have taken the top spots for the cheapest states to host a barbecue for the Fourth of July holiday.<\/p>\n<h3>Cost Comparison<\/h3>\n<p>According to data compiled by Total Shape, hosting a Fourth of July barbecue in the Garden State for 10 people will cost residents an average of $98.05. Meanwhile, hosting one in Virginia will cost residents $110.78. These prices make New Jersey and Virginia the only two states where funding a barbecue this holiday weekend will cost residents under $100.<\/p>\n<p>The only other state where one can host a 10-person barbecue this weekend under $100 is West Virginia, with a cost of $98.83. However, Virginia has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-two-cheapest-states-to-host-a-fourth-of-july-barbecue\/\" title=\"Top two affordable states for hosting a Fourth of July BBQ.\">higher monthly salary average<\/a> of $4,728 compared to West Virginia&#8217;s $3,618. This means that hosting a barbecue of roughly $100 won&#8217;t take up as big of a fraction of one&#8217;s monthly salary in Virginia.<\/p>\n<h3>Affordable Options in Other States<\/h3>\n<p>Aside from New Jersey and Virginia, there are other affordable options for hosting a Fourth of July barbecue this year. Alaska comes in at $120.68, Maryland at $123.57, and Connecticut at $134.78.<\/p>\n<h3>Least Affordable States<\/h3>\n<p>On the other side, the least affordable state for hosting a barbecue this holiday weekend is South Carolina, with a cost of $150.80 against an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/video-of-elon-musk-goes-viral-after-twitter-owner-says-2-words-in-italian\/\" title=\"Elon Musk's Italian words on Twitter go viral in video.\">average monthly income<\/a> of $3,577. Other least affordable states include Georgia at $170.86, Kentucky at $139.72, Montana at $142.63, and Illinois at $172.19.<\/p>\n<h3>Beer Prices<\/h3>\n<p>The data is not all bad news for South Carolina residents, though. The average price for a bottled beer in the state is $2.37, making it more affordable in that aspect. However, Massachusetts takes the crown for the most expensive domestic beer, with a price of $3.06 per bottle.<\/p>\n<h3>Overall Price Increase<\/h3>\n<p>In general, residents across the United States can expect to pay a bit more for their barbecue this year. Sausages are now 26% more expensive than they were in 2022, while the cost of sirloin steak has increased by 14% since May of last year. Additionally, the cost of cookies is up by 14%, and the cost of potato chips is up 15%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/manchin-every-senator-thinks-minimum-wage-should-be-increased\/\" title=\"Manchin: Every Senator Thinks Minimum Wage Should Be Increased\">consumer price index<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">The Washington Examiner<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Jersey and Virginia residents can enjoy a budget-friendly Fourth of July weekend, as these East Coast states ranked as the cheapest for hosting a barbecue.
