The Biden administration wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving.
In a month, we will get together for Thanksgiving. Last year, we had to worry about COVID and getting too close to grandma. This year, our problem is a bit different. In other words, will we be able to afford "Turkey Day"?
Frankly, paying for Thanksgiving may be a challenging in 2021. This is from Kim Severson:
Nearly every component of the traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, from the disposable aluminum turkey roasting pan to the coffee and pie, will cost more this year, according to agricultural economists, farmers and grocery executives. Major food companies like Nestlé and Procter & Gamble have already warned consumers to brace for more price increases.
Everything is up but the turkey may be the biggest culprit of all:
For many cooks, the biggest expense will be the turkey. By the end of the year, market analysts say, prices per pound will likely surpass the record Department of Agriculture benchmark price for turkeys -- $1.36, set in 2015.
Turkey is more expensive largely because the price of corn, which most commercial turkeys feed on, more than doubled in some parts of the country from July 2020 to July 2021. Whole frozen birds between 8 and 16 pounds already cost 25 cents a pound more than they did a year ago, according to the weekly Department of Agriculture turkey report released Friday.
It will be interesting. Furthermore, the cost of Thanksgiving will also be impacted by a couple of other factors. In the North, it will cost a lot more to heat the homes. All over, it will cost more to drive or fly. By the way, renting a car will be challenging too.

I am sure it must be Trump’s fault.
Someone tell Biden...”It’s the economy, STUPID.”
Like it or not....we need fossil fuels to sustain our energy demands.
There is going to be a booze shortage over the holidays, due to supply problems. What else can go wrong?
After all, Thanksgiving is just a racist, homophobic holiday. So who cares if it’s gone.
Hey you guys saved 16 cents on the 4th of July. Stop whining. /sarc
Instead of turkey, we’re having beagles. Much cheaper and can even be free if there are some in your neighborhood.
The DC Bolsheviks are replicating the actions of the Moscow Bolsheviks in hopes of attaining the same result. Seriously, that’s how stupid and ignorant they are.
Oh please. Article author ginning up FUD for all it’s worth. What crap.
I am trying to get a big sea gull or maybe a buzzard.
How many quail equal one turkey?
I am not celebrating T-Giving until Dr. Fauci tells me it is ok
Everything will be fine. Heard FJB is going to pardon 4 turkeys. 1 illegal invader, 1 black rapist, 1 ISIS terrorist and one DC cop for 1/6 murder.
That way Amerikans have two edible turkeys to split between the 180 million that have survived the Fauci Flu.
Oh yeah, some good Ol puppy gullian on the side will top it off
If people get hungry the bald eagles, manatees and zoo animals better watch out!
It’s thanksGIVING, not thanksTAKING. Eat what you can afford. Whether with friends, family, your pet, or alone, be aware that you don’t need expensive food.
I’m sure Jen Puhsaki will crow about how it’s become so expensive we ought to cancel it, it’s racist anyway.
I’m thinking of roasting an old demonrat doctor. Sure, it’ll be tough and stringy but a long slow roast and lots of gravy will help.
It’s about Family/friends/God/Country and not about things you can’t afford.
