SUMMARY: This 4th of July, the cost of a cookout for 10 people has risen by 20% compared to five years ago. However, fireworks remain affordable, thanks to businesses like D and D Fireworks in Morville, which has been selling fireworks for over 25 years. Despite economic challenges, they keep prices low by importing directly from China, offering items that range from 99 cents to $150. The American Pyrotechnics Association predicts a $100 million increase in consumer spending on fireworks this year. D and D Fireworks also provides discounts for first responders and police officers, ensuring everyone can celebrate safely and affordably.

Celebrating Independence Day this year has gotten really pricey. The average cost of a cookout for 10 people is 30% higher than this time five years ago. But there’s one thing that folks won’t have to worry about paying more for: fireworks.
