As per usual the Thanksgiving Holiday falls during deer
camp. This year it’s just Jill and me as
nobody wants to be with us. Which is
just fine. It’s a relaxing day of televised parade and football and a traditional stuffed turkey roasting in the oven. We're also baking a giant yam and there is pumpkin pie for dessert.
I've
got a great deal to be thankful-for. My family, my friends, great community and neighbors, a comfortable retirement, reasonably good health and the great outdoors. A new pup rounds it all out.
An additional bit of good news is this: The American Farm Bureau Federation's 38th annual survey provides a snapshot of the average cost of this year's classic holiday feast for 10 checks-in at $61.17 or less than $6.20 per person.
This is a 4.5% decrease from last year's record-high average of $64.05, but a Thanksgiving meal is still 25% higher than it was in 2019, highlighting the impact of higher supply costs and inflation have had on food prices since before the pandemic. Anecdotally, our ten-pound bird was free. We earn Holiday Bucks from our grocery every December which can be redeemed for a free turkey or ham.
In closing the staff here at The Platz extends their best
wishes to you on this Thanksgiving holiday.
Gobble, gobble...
