Some organize potluck dinners instead of jumping to celebrate together. Others stay at home instead of flying. And a little jumping turkey completely.
To that sank the fourth of Thanksgiving, as the economy, prices of everything from aircraft flights for groceries is rising, and some Americans reduce theirs. But in many households is the reason for the importance of saving. Said one mother: "I do not have much to give, but I will be cooking, and the door will be opened."
Thanksgiving fares are up 20% this year and the average price of a gallon of gasoline rose nearly 20% after the AAA travel tracker. However, about 42.5 million people are expected to travel, the highest number since the beginning of the recession.
But even those who choose to stay home and cook for themselves are likely to spend more. A 16-pound turkey and all the trimmings will cost an average of $ 49.20, up 13% since last year, or about $ 5.73 more, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, who said food have increased prices to keep pace with higher prices for goods.
