This holiday season, a mixed picture emerges for consumers as Bankrate reports that over three-quarters of common holiday items are more expensive, while the American Farm Bureau Federation finds a typical Thanksgiving dinner cheaper than last year. President Trump highlights a cheaper Thanksgiving meal package from Walmart, but AAA reports a slight increase in gas prices. Bankrate analyst Sarah Foster suggests tariffs may be driving up costs, with candy, meats, and sweets seeing significant price increases. However, smartphones, televisions, and apparel are cheaper. Experts advise comparison shopping and buying early for the best deals.
