With food budgets still under pressure, shoppers can still stretch their dollars and keep the holiday meal affordable, according to Fargo’s latest Thanksgiving report.
The report led by the Chief Acultist Econdon Econdon Michael Swanson estimated that consumers who choose all the personal items of their thanksgiving food will spend about $80 to work about $80. Those who stick to the name of the products will pay about $100, according to the report, which was created in collaboration with Robin Wenzel, head of the Colin WellGo Agri-Food Institute, Manager of Organizations.
“The turkey industry takes orders from supermarkets months before Thanksgiving. It seems that producers have chosen the right number of birds to prepare, and the price reflects the low cost of feeding turkeys in a competitive market,” said the report.

Killed grocers, including walmart, target, Aldi and Amazon, revealed their thanksgiving food works before the big deal. Each retailer aims to outpace competitors by offering a basket of high-quality traditional dinner items so that customers are compelled to reduce spend on returns.
Sundaram and Fars Fargo also noted that consumers can place some of the best food categories this year. The things that see sharp inflation – beef, coffee and confectionery – are not public in the traditional diet, according to Sundaram. Wells Fargo added that beef and eggs remained key drivers of the recent increase in the food-at-home consumer price index.

Matt Schulz, chief financial analyst for Consumers, told FOX Business that the report is proof that people have more control over their money than they think they do.
“Some of the simplest actions can pay real dividends when it comes to fighting money,” says Schulz. “Just taking the time to compare costs between different retailers or even between different products sold by the same retailer can make all the difference in your vacation budget.”
