      Here that Turkey is $11, which brings the total to $53. Which means it’s a hair less expensive than 2021

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

          Shady brook farms, it won’t be bad.

          I think stop and shop has it as a loss leader hoping we’ll get everything else there.

            Of course, it IS turkey, so it can only be so good. Not my favorite fowl.

                Also, it’s $2.49/lb without the store discount club membership

                    If the turkey is $11.00, well that's a 4.4 lb turkey.

                      No, if got it for 69c a pound using my store card. It’s 13 lbs.

                      It would have been 2.49/lb without my store card.

                        Or about $40.

                        ETA: The fresh Butterball ($1.99) I posted is more expensive than the chart from the Farm Bureau ($1.81).

                          We spent about $4 a pound for our bird. Organic, non-gmo, free range, and fed truffles every day while listening to Italian Arias…

                            By the way, do we feel better if birds are free range? I mean, they are living their best lives when somebody cuts their lives short with an axe…

                            Birds living in those overcrowded pens? When death comes for them it’s a release… Freedom from their pain and suffering…

                              The ultimate would be to raise your own free-range turkey.

                                  Wild turkey is good.

                                  The bird ain't bad, either.

                                      Where were you on July 24, 2009? The Eight Maids-a-Milking were fresh off of their last pay raise. The Federal Minimum Wage hasn’t changed since that date and neither has the cost of this gift..

                                      Labor costs aren’t simply driven by Federal Minimum Wage… Farm Labor is up 8% year over year. https://www.lancasterfarming.com/farming-news/news/farm-workers-see-highest-pay-increase-in-10-years/article_12bb7ae6-dcfb-11ec-81da-0790fc782bb6.html

                                        Eleven Pipers Piping
                                        $3,021.40

                                        (+2.6%)

                                        Live music is once again tuned up after its pandemic lull. The Eleven Pipers grew in cost by a modest 2.6 percent – reflecting rising compensation in 2022..

                                        Musicians pay rates went up about 12% from 21-22. It really isn’t hard to google this shit…

                                          It’s a fun measure of inflation, but the article has several major flaws. First of which, it’s by PNC, which gets it two middle fingers from me right off the bat.
