Good morning! No oysters and, yes, prices are definitely higher! Happy Thanksgiving. — Name withheld
Yes. Some regular things that we have on the table are not going to be there; less desserts, too. We have to cut back where we can. — Sandy Johnson
Working at a grocery store, I’ve heard folks saying they aren’t doing their big shop for the meal. Many are splitting it up over several paychecks this year. Times are tight. — Valerie Ann Jackson
Every meal has hit all-time highs. — Denise Clendenning
No way. I have a menu and a shopping list. When on sale, I get what I need, so it’s very affordable. So far, my Thanksgiving is under $50. — Denise Bella
This affects my mood. I still purchase because I’m not going to let it ruin the holiday for my family and friends, but I’d definitely much rather spend that extra cash on other things! This administration has been the absolute worst! Glad to see them go! — Hippie Peace
The price of literally everything is up over the last four years. Inflation is theft. End the Fed. Hopefully, better times are ahead. — Marinus Willett
Everything is up; nothing is down. — Cynthia Lewis
