What is the deal? Turkeys were $0.98 per pound and we bought enough groceries to get ours for free. Granted, there have been years when turkeys were less than that per pound, but it is hard to get less than free. And there have been years when they were more than that per pound. People are over reacting to a non-existant problem.
Doing a lot better where I live. Gary perhaps you need to move out of Indiana. Seems like the folks running the place are doing a terrible job if that is how tough you have it.
First off, Spam ain’t that cheap anymore. It’s also delicious (I might just bring Spam Masubis to our pot luck dinner).
And the President has nothing to do with the price of turkey. That’s the result of market forces and bird flu. The “RIGHT” is always showing their lack of knowledge of basic economics.
Another “BIDEN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WORLDWIDE INFLATION” cartoon. Buy some new material, Gary. Or… NOW DO ONE where in spite of the inflation, people all over the country are enjoying Thanksgiving BECAUSE THEY HAVE A JOB!
Turkeys are more expensive this year because (1) about 11 million had to be called because of bird flu and (2) higher costs for feeding and housing them.
Thanks to Bidens inflation and war on fossil fuels, many folks are deciding Do I fill up the grocery cart, or the gas tank. The dem posters above are supposed to be the caring party, but it’s obvious they think of no one else besides themselves.
The best story of the week has to be the total flop of FTX. Sam Bankman-Fried had a net worth of $24 Billion a week ago, thanks to crypto currency. He was the 2nd highest democrat political donor (behind George Soros) pledging a Billion dollars, and poof, his whole empire vanished overnight, leaving dems to scramble trying to cover his lost promised money. Hilarious!
@Catherine Spencer-Mills: Here are some facts for you to chew on that support the point Mr. Varvel is making: This year’s traditional Thanksgiving dinner is the most expensive ever in the 37 years that the American Farm Bureau has been conducting its annual Thanksgiving dinner survey. Up 20% over last year! Sure, stores will use a $0.98 turkey as a loss leader to get you in the door, but almost everything else is very expensive. Butter, canned goods (when they are in stock), eggs, meat, literally everything has gone up in price. Yet the Left ‘says’ that they care for the middle class. no they don’t, because of Biden’s policies families make decisions about which bill to pay so they can buy $4-$6 a gallon gas for their car in a country that is awash with oil. That is a conscious choice of the Progressive Left to punish the low and middle class and just one example. And that EV you brag about? Any clue how that electricity is generated? By coal and natural gas…natural gas that comes from oil and fracking that the Progressive Left loves to lothe. Have a Happy Thanksgiving in your little Progressive, Communist safe space. But when he wolves are at the door, don’t come crying to those who told you so.

Varvel again tries and fails to distract from fact of how poorly his fascist buddies have fared.
My turkey cost me 41 cents a pound.

Gary perhaps you should scan the grocery ads prior to commenting on grocery costs.
Durak Premium Member over 1 year ago
Gary is an idiot. It is cheaper to feed the family turkey than Spam.
A 12oz can of Spam costs $3.58. That’s $4.77 a pound. We bought a 16lb bird at 98 cents a pound.
Get your lies straight, Gary.

What? No screams about “found votes”? No election denial?
Varvel has gotten his marching orders, and those orders are very different from what they were a month ago.

Ease up, Gary. The midterms are over, and your propaganda didn’t work. You can stop beating that drum.
Turns out trump’s MAGAts are even less popular than Biden.

Be thankful and generous. A little better than what the Somalians are having for thanksgiving this year. All because of the greed of one dictator.

No inflation for frozen turkeys here – 47¢/lb last year, 47¢/lb this year.

The price of turkey has gone up — but turkey is still the cheapest animal protein you can get. Ham (which Spam is made from) is more expensive.
