With the cost of everything going up this year, a NY Post writer suggested eating out this Thanksgiving could be cheaper than doing it yourself.

He based it on a report that found the price of food at restaurants has only jumped 6% since last November compared to 10% for groceries and 15% for Thanksgiving foods, specifically…the turkey, potatoes, flour…even butter!

So should you dine out this year?

It depends.

If you’re having dinner with a small group AND you just want to avoid the work, then go for it…but the more people you have, the more sense it makes to cook at home.

The Thanksgiving meal is one of the cheapest meals you can put together every year…the average dinner last year cost $5.33 per person.

So even if that doubled (which it won’t) it’ll still be a lot cheaper to cook at home.

Just make sure you’ve got some help with the dishes!
