Americans across the country expressed shock and delight today as the cost of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner plunged to levels so low that families now plan to purchase not one, but two complete feasts, just because they finally can.
The White House announced that the average Thanksgiving meal for 10 people now rings in at a mere $55.18, according to the latest survey from the American Farm Bureau Federation, marking a dramatic 5% drop from last year and the lowest price since 2021.
Turkey prices led the charge downward, with a sixteen-pound bird averaging just $21.50 nationwide, a 16% decline that administration officials credited to bold economic policies that appeared to crush inflation overnight.
“Families who spent the last few years choosing between groceries and rent are now rushing to stock up on double turkeys, extra stuffing, and backup pumpkin pies,” President Donald Trump declared during a press briefing.
Retail giants joined the celebration, with Walmart promoting a holiday meal basket for 10 people at under $40 total, prompting shoppers to load their carts with duplicates of everything from cranberry sauce to dinner rolls.
Some stores reported that customers asked whether they could buy the display models as well, just to be safe.
“This is the kind of affordability we promised,” Trump added.
The administration highlighted how the lower costs allow ordinary Americans to enjoy abundance for the first time in years.
One shopper in Ohio told reporters she planned to cook one dinner on Thanksgiving and freeze the second for Christmas, explaining that the deals made her feel rich again.
Grocery chains across the nation confirmed a surge in double purchases, with managers scrambling to restock shelves before the holiday.
The White House urged citizens to give thanks for the sudden reversal in food prices that has made the iconic feast accessible to everyone once more.
