Overall, $6.7 billion will be shelled out for hot dogs (150 million dogs, to be exact), burgers and other cookout favorites. More than $5 million worth of U.S. flag memorabilia have reportedly been (ironically) imported as well.

That patriotic spending comes out to around $73 per American&mdash;a slight decline from recent years, but impressive nonetheless, as 86% of the population has plans to celebrate in some way.
