Americans will experience a more expensive Thanksgiving in 2021 due to higher inflation and supply chain issues, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

“When you go to the grocery store and it feels more expensive, that’s because it is,” Veronica Nigh, senior economist at the American Farm Bureau Federation, told CBS News, adding that overall, food prices are up 3.7 percent in 2021 against the 20-year average of around 2.4 percent.
