Thanksgiving’s Price Tag Packs on the Pounds
With turkey prices at record highs, the traditional holiday meal will cost you.
American households are about to eat their costliest Thanksgiving dinner ever. That is, if they can find the turkey.
As families tentatively plan to gather again after last season in lockdown, shoppers should expect to pay more for meat and all the trimmings. Whole frozen turkey prices are up about 20% year on year to an all-time high, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, while retail prices for pie-staples like milk and sugar are at multi-year highs. Even alcohol costs, from beer to cocktails, are climbing as the kickoff to the U.S. holiday season approaches.
