Thanksgiving Dinner Will Cost You 13% More This Year
If you're planning on ponying up for this year's Thanksgiving dinner, be prepared to spend some more money, as a new report finds the average cost of a turkey-fied feast has jumped more than 13% since last year.
But wait Joe.......inflation was only 3.6%. It CAN'T cost 13% more....the government says so. I mean.....just because groceries are up between 10 and 30% and gas is up 30% doesn't mean that inflation is driving up the cost of Thanksgiving dinner. Ha ha ha.....people are such fools for listening to the governments dribble. I agree Joe...things will be MUCH higher this year. Next we will hear how "people are spending more on Christmas this year than ever before"....but what won't be told is that they are actually buying less. NO ONE will escape the hyper inflation that is descending upon us.
The government doesn't include food or energy prices when it calculates the "core" inflation numbers. It's because the two largest non-fixed payments that people have are food and energy, and their numbers are "too volitile."
