ICYMI: NY Post: Under Trump’s Economy, This Thanksgiving Will be the Priciest in History Arrow

Thanks to Donald Trump's disastrous economic policies, this Thanksgiving will cost the average American almost $1,000, making it the most expensive Thanksgiving in history, according to the NY Post. Trump already made the largest cut to food assistance, while overseeing rising inflation that is causing grocery prices to skyrocket. Now, millions of families will struggle to put food on the table for their Thanksgiving meal or have to downsize their holiday gatherings, all because Trump is hellbent on selling out the American people to secure tax breaks for his billionaire buddies.

New York Post: Rising costs make this year's Thanksgiving the priciest in history: survey

• This Thanksgiving will cost the average American almost $1,000, new research has revealed.
• Results found that those polled will spend an average of $175 on food alone this year and another $110 on drinks.
• But meal time necessities aren't the only thing on the tab. On average, Americans polled will spend $83 on decor for the holiday and another $291 on miscellaneous items such as fixing a broken appliance or purchasing a new outfit.
• And though one-third of respondents aren't planning to spend anything on travel for the holiday, those who are plan to spend an average of $293, bringing the Thanksgiving spend total to $952.
• And with the average person hosting eight different people, each plate will total an average of $21.88.
• Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of banking app Chime, the survey took a deep dive into how Americans are adapting their gatherings and stretching their budgets during a financially challenging holiday season.
• Still, a little more than one-third of respondents (35%) are planning to spend less this year than they have in years past, spending an average of 41% less this year.
• In order to keep costs lower, these respondents will be hosting smaller gatherings than before (31%) or having their guests bring some dishes, rather than cook everything themselves (28%).
• "Results found that 63% of respondents find that it's expensive to get together with family during Thanksgiving, which undermines the whole meaning of the holiday," said Chime's Chief Spending Officer Janelle Sallenave.
