I’ll bet Thanksgiving is up more than 16 cents, blowing away all that savings Psaki was roaring about:
Gas: 42.1 percent
Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs: 10.5 percent
Propane, kerosene, and firewood: 27.6 percent
Fuel oil: 42.6 percent
Electricity: 5.2 percent
Peanut butter: 6.2 percent
Coffee: 4.0 percent
Bacon and similar products: 19.3 percent
Uncooked beef steaks: 22.1 percent
Brother-in-law likes to deep fry one of the turkeys. I tried to look up the price increase in vegetable oil but couldn’t find a chart. I am sure it is also up bigly. Anything with Palm Oil is way higher for several factors, including a ban on some regional imports due to labor practices.
Not that I condone child labor violations anywhere but palm oil is used in many industries. Not just food.
