As inflation bites, grocery chains cut price of Thanksgiving food
CBSN
Grocery shopping can produce a feeling of sticker shock these days, with inflation remaining near a 40-year-high. But some of the nation's largest retailers are moving to lessen the blow by offering big discounts on turkey and the traditional trimmings ahead of Thanksgiving.
In a promotion, Walmart said it is keeping traditional holiday food items at last year's prices, including ham, potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mac and cheese, and pumpkin pie. The discounts are being rolled out now and will continue through December 26, the retailer announced on Thursday.
Walmart's turkey assortment is already in stores for those shopping early, including whole turkeys for under $1 a pound, almost half the national average, said the company, which has more than 5,300 stores across the U.S.
