What happened
Consulting firm PwC forecasts that Thanksgiving meals will cost the average American family about $90, up from $88 last year, amid higher inflation. This price increase is partly driven by the Iran war, which is raising gasoline prices. Aldi is responding to these higher food costs by promoting a Thanksgiving meal basket that includes a 16-pound turkey and side dishes.

Why it matters
The rising cost of staples, such as turkey (expected to cost nearly 8% more) and cranberries (expected to rise nearly 15%), indicates significant inflationary pressure on consumer goods. Retailers like Aldi are using promotional deals to offset these rising food prices and manage consumer budgets.
