This year’s Thanksgiving feast is biting back as the ongoing supply chain crisis causes some holiday favorites to balloon in price, with turkeys now 27 per cent more expensive.
Nearly every dinnertime staple – from the popular roasting bird to pumpkins – have jumped in price year-over-year, leaving consumers with a heftier tab.
The price of a frozen 15-pound turkey will cost around $21.50 this year, up 27% from last year’s $16.95 price tag.
A three-pound bag of Russet potatoes cost $1.12 last week, a 13% year-over-year spike from the previous $0.99 cost, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Are 4th of July barbecues still six cents cheaper than last year?
I usually pack on the carbs for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but not this year........................
Yes, but remember it’s pretty selective. No bun for the hot dog
Jen Psycho bragged about how the average price for a 4th of july BBG was down $0.17 or something like that. Will she crow about the average Thansgiving dinner being up $40 or $50?
Keep it away from Fauci.
I can probably scrape together $21.50 for our once-a-year turkey. Christmas dinner will be ham, already in the freezer.
Pardon Joe Biden??
This Thanksgiving, we are going out to the wind farm and see what we can find.
We call it Windmill Smorgasbord.
Sweet Potato Pie > Pumpkin Pie !!
All the serfs shall enjoy their gruel and be thankful that there be any at all.
I was looking at prime rib roasts the other day as a change up from the traditional turkey. I think I’m still early enough to have time to get a 2nd mortgage to make the deal.
You have to be careful because sometimes they’re only stunned.
We put a condor in the oven last year and he was just stunned. He was really ticked off. Had to give him five bucks to keep quiet.
Boy, are they tender.
Those windmill blades really soften em up.

Ha ha. What the White House will show as this year’s “cheaper” Thanksgiving dinner? A can of SPAM carved into the shape of a turkey?
Add in the cost of gas to drive to grandma’s and the cost to heat the house, no Thanksgiving tis year. It will be cancelled soon anyway. This will be the first year in decades we won’t hear RUSH tell the story.
I paid .49 a pound for my turkey in 2018. I went back and purchased two more to put in the freezer to cook later in the year. I’d love to see that price again!
Yep, Psaki bragged how we saved a few cents for the 4th. Will she crow about how it will cost an extra few hundred bucks for Thanksgiving? Or is this a high class problem?
