Regional numbers from the cookout survey, if you're hosting this weekend

A few details from the Fourth of July post that I found handy, in case you're doing the shopping:

The West is the most expensive region at about $80 for the basket, the Northeast the cheapest at $71.35. Pork and beans had the biggest jump (13.8%) and strawberries were up 12.4%, but potato salad fell 17.8% to $2.91. So if you want to save a little, the potato salad is your friend this year.

Not American myself, just thought the breakdown was more useful than the headline number. Have a good holiday everyone!
