Memorial Day (this coming Monday) is the traditional kickoff to the outdoor BBQ season no matter where you live. For some, though, BBQ season never ends, either because we are happy to cook outside in the snow or because summer never ends where we live. I've been fortunate to experience both of those, and although the first can be an adventure, the second one is definitely more pleasant. Here are current grocery store price comparisons on the food you will need to get that BBQ season started off right!
