"The costs of this year's holiday feast - estimated at $58.08 for a 10-person gathering, or $5.81 a head - dropped 5% since last year, the lowest level since 2021."

The article's headline read: "Thanksgiving dinner is historically affordable this year"

Conservatives on social media quickly blasted the reporting and the suggestion that Americans will experience relief from inflation at the Thanksgiving dinner table this year. 

October food prices were up 0.2% on a monthly basis and 2.1% from a year ago. Food away from home was up 3.8% annually, while food at home was up just 1.1% in comparison. The largest price increase among food items was for eggs, with prices up 30.4% on an annual basis in October even though they declined 6.5% from September.
