Those Memorial Day burgers will cost more this year
Get ready for more expensive Memorial Day burgers and hot dogs this year. It's not unusual to see meat prices go up before Memorial Day, he said, because of the spike in demand. "Our distributors across the board tell us that prices will be dropping significantly after the Memorial Day holiday," Kaner said. "This Memorial Day weekend, consumers can find specials like up to $1 off Beyond Burger packs," a spokesperson said, noting that value packs "will be priced very competitively." Even with increases in meat prices, the alternative is still about 20% more expensive than animal meat, she noted.
