SUMMARY: With July 4th approaching, many are prepping for budget-friendly barbecues. Grocery trips can be costly, but savings are possible. Look for weekly ads, buy generic brands, and use digital coupons and rewards apps like Food Giant's. An example trip included chicken legs, frozen mac and cheese, frozen corn, lemonade, sugar, peaches for peach cobbler, charcoal, and red-white-blue popsicles—all bought with discounts. The total was between $40 and $45, enough to feed a family of four. Strategic shopping can make holiday barbecues affordable and enjoyable.

With summer BBQs coming up, there are ways to your keep grocery list on a budget.

SUMMARY: A survey indicates that prices for holiday staples such as hamburger meat, baked beans, and potato salad are at a record high this year. Shoppers at a Jackson grocery store noted price increases of about 30% from last year. The cost of a typical July 4th meal has risen by 5%, according to the American Farm Bureau, with current costs reaching around $71 for ten people, up from just under $68 last year. Consumers are adapting by prioritizing necessities over wants, and the rising costs are particularly challenging for those on a budget.

SUMMARY: The expansion of the Capitol Complex Improvement District (CCID) in Jackson, effective today, includes changes to 911 call handling and police patrols. The expansion began on July 1, giving state officers more responsibilities in a larger portion of Jackson. Capitol Police now have primary responsibility for calls in the CCID, with the city's dispatch center routing 911 calls to them until the state's own center is operational. Both city and state agencies are establishing Memorandums of Understanding. They aim to maintain a four-minute response time for emergencies. The state is also finalizing its court system for handling CCID-related cases, which Hinds County currently manages. Further expansions and adjustments are anticipated.
