Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! On this holiday we wanted to step back from the markets for a minute but still stick with the numbers and provide you with some fun Thanksgiving Day facts.
Turkey, Turkey and More Turkey
The average cost of a Thanksgiving dinner is down $0.22 from last year to $48.90. This is the lowest level since 2014. The main contributor to that number is turkey. A 16 pound turkey, on average, will cost your around $21.71, down $0.67 from last year. One of the main drivers of this could be tariffs. There is some estimations that because of the Chinese tariffs they are consuming less of our food which leads to our prices going down. This, along with lower gas prices, could give the consumer some surprising savings just in time for holiday season. Let’s talk quantity. On Thanksgiving a predicted 46 million turkeys will be consumed. To break that number down even further, that equates to 736 million pounds of turkey. We hope you are hungry!
