Forget the cost of healthcare. Let's talk about what really matters...

A new study from BIGinsight says that despite concerns about rising food prices, "the average price of an Independence Day picnic is down a few dollars to $59.14 (from $61.16 in 2011). The total nationwide spend on cookouts is estimated to be $2.4 billion based on a shopping list of cookout staples."

The survey also says that "67.6% of Americans plan to celebrate July 4th with a cookout, rising from 64.4% in 2011."
