This Thanksgiving, Americans might have something to be grateful for: a smaller grocery bill. Each year, the American Farm Bureau’s annual Thanksgiving Inflation index tracks the cost of a turkey dinner for 10 people, and this year’s meal (with many of the classic fixings, including sweet potatoes and cranberries) would cost an average of $55.18, down from $58.08 last year. This is good news, as food prices spiked during the pandemic, causing hardship for millions of people. The Trump administration’s latest inflation report painted a similarly positive picture. While it didn’t show food prices falling overall, it did report the overall cost of groceries increased just 2.7% between September 2024 and September 2025 (the most recent available data). Still, the reassuring numbers seem at odds with the experience of actually going to the grocery store. Food appears to have its own version of the “vibecession.”
