Big Apple residents will tighten their belts this Thanksgiving as popular grocery chains stuff it to customers.
The cost of a Thanksgiving meal with a 20-pound bird and 17 trimmings has soared to $220.05 — 23% more than the $178.81 cost of last year’s feast.
New Yorkers are noticing.
“I put five items on the [counter] and its like $70. . . . What just happened?” said Susan, 79, who lives across the street from a Morton Williams on Bleeker Street. “I’m too embarrassed to haggle and put things back so I just bite the bullet.”
Another Greenwich Village shopper, Paul, 78, said comparison shopping is futile.
“None of these places are affordable as far as I’m concerned,” he said. “All the major stuff costs more. Everywhere you go.”
Yams had the most eye-popping increase — up 188% to $1.99
