re: Thanksgiving dinner is historically affordable this year

For sure, most dishes are pretty cheap. Doing all the cooking takes time and oven space.

$58 is laughable unless you just want a ghetto thanksgiving

The more you make from scratch without a bunch of preservatives, the less ghetto it gets such as avoiding dumping a can of cream of mushroom soup on some beans.

Yeah, you're not going to get Free Range Turkey and eggs, organic milk etc for $58. And, it's a definitely a lot easier to pop Sister Shubert's in the oven.

However, cooking a good meal would seem to be something that one may make a little time for on the holiday that's actually most identifiable with good food. Especially for Thanksgiving when most families have multiple people to share the cooking. Guess my family is in the extreme old fashioned minority there.


You never know with this board . One subject people go nuts about lazy, unhealthy people signalling the downfall of society and then get testy when you suggest home cooking for a special family holiday with natural ingredients is actually pretty cost effective.

And indeed, while Thanksgiving food prices are up 19% since 2019, according to the AFBF, federal data shows median household wages growing by about 25% during the same period

I missed out on that last part, guess we'll only have nine people this year instead of ten.

shite

Just picked up a honey baked ham and that MF was $140

I remember a few years ago when they were $75 and I thought that was expensive lol
