Great News! NBC Has Reported It Will Only Cost $58 To Feed A Family Of 10 For Thanksgiving This Year!

NBC - 

You may not know it by looking at sticker prices in grocery aisles, but Thanksgiving dinner is more affordable than it has been in years.

The costs of this year’s holiday feast — estimated at $58.08 for a 10-person gathering, or $5.81 a head — dropped 5% since last year, the lowest level since 2021,

according to a nationwide survey of grocery prices by the American Farm Bureau Federation, which represents millions of U.S. farmers. But the picture improves further when adjusted for inflation.

“If your dollar had the same overall purchasing power as a consumer in 1984 … this would be the least expensive Thanksgiving meal in the 39-year history of the AFBF Thanksgiving survey, other than the outlier of 2020,” the authors wrote.

For plenty of households, it doesn’t feel that way.

Would you get a load of this steaming crock of mashed bullshit CNBC is serving up with their “Thanksgiving is Cheap Again, You Peasants!” propaganda piece?

According to some Farm Bureau survey, you can feed 10 people Thanksgiving dinner for a mere $58. Lol.

Fifty-eight bucks! 

That’s five bucks and change per person; basically what you’d pay for a side of fries at a fast food joint these days.

I’m pretty sure you can’t feed yourself a turkey dinner at Boston Market for $58, never mind a group of ten at a supermarket, but the mainstream media said you can, so you can. 

Rejoice and give thanks!

And not to mention, it’s a 5% drop from last year, making it the cheapest since 2021. 

But wait, don’t pop the bubbly yet, because it’s still 19% higher than the pre-pandemic good ol’ days of 2019 when eggs weren’t worth their weight in gold, and you didn’t need a bank loan to buy bacon.

Inflation is the annoying drunk uncle who just won’t leave the party.

Also, let’s talk about this survey’s “menu” shall we? It makes it sound like you’re feeding ten people at a middle school cafeteria. 

They’re rationing this shit like it’s the Oregon Trail. No mashed potatoes, no butter, no gravy, and absolutely no drinks, because apparently hydration is a luxury. One can of peas. A single 14-ounce box of Stove Top stuffing. Are these ten people hostages?

If you needed another example that legacy media is dead, (you don’t), here it is.  NBC had the audacity to say, “Thanksgiving is historically affordable” 

Yeah, guys, historically affordable if you time-travel back to 1984, when gas was a dollar, and people still smoked in hospitals. They even throw in some garbage about “wages are up, so the average American has to work fewer hours to afford this meal.” Oh really? Tell that to the teachers, the nurses, the truck drivers, and everyone else pulling 50-hour weeks to keep the lights on. 

p.s. - speaking of groceries, it's so sad what Whole Foods has become compared to what it once was before overlord Bezos bought it. When I'm back home in the northeast I go to visit Wegmans and it reminds me of how Whole Foods was like 15 years ago. Clean. Well stocked shelves with tons of different brands and variety. The salad bar was incredible. The hot food bars were also amazing. You could almost justify the insane prices. Now, it's like a step above Aldi, and the salad and hot food bars resemble a soup kitchen. Sad.
