"Rising Costs: Brace Yourself for a Pricier Thanksgiving Meal"

The average cost of a Thanksgiving meal is expected to slightly increase this year, with food-at-home prices up 2.4%. Labor and food production costs, as well as extreme weather patterns impacting crop growth, are contributing to the rising prices of Thanksgiving ingredients. While turkey prices are decreasing, side dishes are expected to be 4% more expensive compared to last year. Grocery stores may offer more discounts to help offset the financial impact of rising ingredient prices.
