Prices of processed turkeys are up 40.7 percent compared
with a year ago, data from the Department of Labor’s Producer Price Index
showed Tuesday. That’s even after falling a seasonally adjusted one percent in
October.
It may be hard to even find turkeys in some parts of the
country this year. The Wall Street Journal reported that turkeys were 60 percent out of stock.
Cranberries, yams, and sweet potatoes are also low in stock.
Grain prices are 40.8 percent higher than a year ago, driving up the prices of
our largely grain-fed turkey crop. Beef and veal prices are up 41.5 percent
compared with a year ago. Overall, food prices are running 10.5 percent higher
than a year ago.
Getting to the family Thanksgiving will be costlier with
gasoline prices are up close to 90 percent, according to the Producer Price
Index. Airfares, fortunately for passengers, are near where they were a year
ago and still well below pre-pandemic levels.
Home heating oil is up 114.8 percent. Residential natural
gas prices are up 28.7 percent. Residential electricity prices are up 5.6
percent.
Overall, the Producer Price Index—which measures prices
from the point of view of sellers—is up
8.6 percent compared with a year ago, tying the record high set last
month.
