Tuesday was the first day of sales for fireworks in California, and some shoppers have noted a dramatic increase in costs.Tuesday was the first day of fireworks sales for "Safe and Sane" products in California. Those products are legal for purchase in the state. These fireworks usually don't fly or explode. Melissa Hickman, who was shopping with her husband Michael, pointed to a pack of fireworks she said cost her $49.99 last year. The price tag is now $89.99."They’re very expensive, very expensive. I’ve never seen fireworks like this,” Michael said.Shaun Morrow, who runs a fireworks stand for the Rotary Club of West Sacramento, attributes the increase to a rise in prices across the board due to inflation. Last year, he said fireworks were an issue due to a lack of supply.Regardless, some people are still determined to celebrate the Fourth of July with a bang."It hurts but they maybe tighten the belt up a little bit,” Morrow said. “They still want to enjoy that at home.At a stand in East Sacramento, the Fort Sutter Pigeon Club is hoping it will top last year's record-breaking Fourth of July with $17,000 raised."I think people want to celebrate. They're probably going to come over and splurge. We take credit cards and that entices people to pay a little bit more than they should,” Jason Meder said.Still, customers like the Hickmans realize they won't get as much bang for their buck, but they want to make sure their family gets to celebrate since their son is turning three this weekend.“It's worth it for me. I saved up for this. I didn't realize I wasn't going to get so much. I got way more last year,” said Melissa Hickman.The nonprofits believe they'll still have good sales this year, despite the higher prices. The stands in Sacramento will be open until nine or ten p.m. every night until July 4.
