Father's Day could cost more this year - but there are ways to save

Americans are expected to spend more than ever on Father's Day this year - and experts say higher prices are a big reason why.

The National Retail Federation projects shoppers will spend a record $27. 9 billion on Father's Day in 2026, up from $24 billion in 2025.

The organization's annual survey also found 77% of consumers plan to celebrate with gifts, with average spending expected to land around $226 per person - roughly $27 more than last year.
