By Marion Nestle November 27 2025 Happy Thanksgiving: What is it costing you? Here’s the trend. At issue is what’s happening now. The White House says: Americans Are Paying Less This Thanksgiving. President Donald J. Trump promised to crush inflation and lower prices — and he’s delivering this Thanksgiving, with the classic holiday feast about 3% cheaper than last year, according to a brand new report. Americans are seeing across-the-board price declines for the holiday staples, with dinner rolls down 22%, frozen vegetables down 15%, and items like turkeys, stuffing, gravy mix, fresh cranberries, and pumpkin pies all costing less. It’s proof that under President Trump’s leadership, America is winning the war on high prices — even as Democrats grind the country to a halt with their deranged, reckless government shutdown. Alas, not everyone sees it this way. CBS News: Thanksgiving dinner costs climb as turkey supply drops and inflation lingers The Oregonian: We compared Thanksgiving dinner prices at 6 Portland-area grocery stores and here’s where prices are rising Food and Water Watch: New Analysis Finds Thanksgiving Staples To Cost More Under Trump and High costs come as Trump spreads false claims about food affordability You know what your own dinner cost.
