“A Fox News contributor was ridiculed online after claiming that the price of a turkey in the run-up to Thanksgiving had gone up to an extortionate $90.

… Attacking the Biden administration’s policies and the resulting price hikes, Mr Chaffetz said: “We went to go buy a turkey today, it was $90 for a turkey.

“The price of stamps is up 32 per cent in the last four years, but it’s all a choice by Joe Biden. That’s what Bidenomics is.”

Fellow commentator Brian Brenberg added: “I hope Jason’s turkey was made of steak, because that’s a lot of money for a turkey.”…”​

“… According to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), the average price for a 16-pound turkey [in 2023] is $27.35 – at $1.71 per pound – down 5.6 per cent from last year.

The AFBF added that the total cost of an average Thanksgiving dinner in 2023 was less than the record highs seen in 2022 – at $65.05 – but, at an average of $61.17, was still reflective of “historically high costs”….”

That is a spartan list that includes no spices and lacks the materials to make a pie crust for the pumpkin pie mix.

Where on earth can you buy a half a pound of celery? You can buy a head of celery, You can buy a "heart" of celery if you're dying to pay the same as for a head, but for some reason really want to get less celery.

Have I been missing out on the big bulk bins of celery where they sell it buy the stalk?

This is just such ha bizarre list. Is this AI slop?

A 16 pound turkey will feed 10-12 people (with no leftovers). How are we going to stretch that 1 pound of potatoes for that number of people? After peeling we're talking a tablespoon or two of mashed potatoes per person?

I do not think we can divorce who owns and runs the Post from the flaky content they’ve started pumping out.

Oh yeah, the prestigious and respected WaPo of days past is long gone. Most of their best reporters have left and their editorial content has taken a definite shift to the Trumpian right. It's definitely wise to be vey skeptical of most of what they're putting out these days. Bezos has taken what was one of the nation's most respected legacy newspapers and turned it into a (mostly) ass-kissing Trumper news organ.

So true. I had a digital subscription to the NYT and then when they started bo-siding Trump hard during the 2016 election, I canceled and replaced it with a subscription to the WaPo. Then when Bezos killed the Kamala endorsement, I had to cancel that too.

I would pay good money for quality journalism. Pisses me of that that option had been taken away from me.
