As summer barbecues become more expensive, Stew Leonard Jr., president and CEO of Stew Leonard's, has noticed that consumer behavior is changing.

"We can tell customers are starting to be a little more frugal about their shopping list," said Leonard, who owns seven grocery store locations.

The average cost of a summer cookout for 10 people has risen to $69.98 this year, a 17% increase year-over-year, the American Farm Bureau reported.

And according to the latest consumer price index data, food costs are up 10.1% year over year as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and global supply chain snarls have led to price increases in a wide variety of groceries. Ketchup prices have spiked 21%, snacks are up more than 13%, hot dogs more than 10%, and ice cream prices have risen nearly 10%. Beer, meanwhile, has only increased about 4%.
