Decrease in Thanksgiving Costs Makes Way for a Second Helping
|
|
In years past, we have offered ideas for political issues to bring up around the dinner table that tend to unite family members on both sides of the aisle. That has included changing Daylight Saving Time, celebrating America’s 250th birthday, and the anniversary of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act that Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spearheaded 32 years ago. Inflation has also been on that list for the last several years, but this year, there is a more positive spin.
There are several factors that account for the steep rise in our grocery bills in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic, bird flu, supply chain issues, tariffs, and an increase in taxes have increased the prices of food over the last several years. This year, however, we are seeing a decrease in the cost of certain Thanksgiving staples and retailers getting more creative to save families a few bucks.
