Thanksgiving meals 20 percent more expensive than last year: report
The Hill ^ | 11/16/2022 | Gianna Melillo

The average cost of a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people in 2022 is estimated to be around $64 dollars, according to a new report from the Farm Bureau, marking a 20 percent increase from the $53 total measured in 2021.

The organization’s 37th annual survey found the price of turkey alone costs 21 percent more this year than last, at $28.96 for a 16-pound bird.

However, the increase for this Thanksgiving staple can be attributed to more factors than just general inflation. The U.S. inflation rate in October was 7.7 percent, down from 8.2 percent measured in September.

“The higher retail turkey cost at the grocery store can also be attributed to a slightly smaller flock this year, increased feed costs and lighter processing weights,” said American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) chief economist Roger Cryan.

Best price I’ve seen for frozen turkey in my area was $.45 a lb, paid $.68 at the commissary, last year I paid $.30 a lb.

That’s okay, we can have Kroger or Great Value cranberry sauce instead of Ocean Spray, and bugs instead of turkey.

Sounds like a lot of families will be having turkey hot dogs this year. Let’s go Brandon!!! FJB. The least that Jo Jo could have down was given out coupons for free turkeys for every banana ballot somebody mailed in.

Gotta look for sales and use coupons. My wife bought several turkeys for 48 cents a pound. Still cheap as meat prices go.

And yet the independents and poor democrats still voted for the party in charge.

At least to the degree the expected red wave collapsed.

Gen Z was a lot of it. Young adults like her:

Lots of supermarkets sell turkeys as a loss leader, to get people into the store to buy all the extras. But even at that, the price has gone up.

My wife and I purchased two twelve-pound turkeys (one for each of us)...we paid 29 cents per pound for one of them, and 37 cents per pound for the other (it was a Plainville, so you have to pay more!).

The two 12-pounders we purchased (cited above) cost us less than TEN BUCKS...where were these idiots shopping? Whole Foods?
