According to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Spring Picnic Market Basket Survey, we spent an average of $3.25 less this year, then the year before. Every year, the American Farm Bureau asks shoppers in more than 30 states to complete a survey on 16 items – from dairy to poultry, beef, pork, chicken and cheese.
