BROOKE DIPALMA: Really, inflation has become a kitchen table conversation. It's something that every single American is trying to grapple with as, really, prices have driven up over the past year or drove up over the past year. So when we look at particularly some fan favorites that we're going to see this holiday weekend, many of these items are what we saw drive up prices in April's consumer price index. That food at home, that grocery category was up 10.8%. That was the largest jump of food at home since November 1980.

So, in terms of what that means as far as percent changes, we saw bacon up 17.7%, we saw chicken up 16.4%, ground beef up 14.8%, beef steaks up 11.8%, and hot dogs up 6.9%. We're going to see a majority of Americans spending between $25 to $120, with just 9% of Americans looking to spend more than $150.
