D-or,,ar,ts Editor

Your Thanksgiving dinner IS 60
ing to cost you more this year than
it did in l940-there' no doubt
about that But its not going TO
cost you as much as some people
would have you believe BY shop
ping around and comparing prices
of the main ingredients for the
average turkey dinner enjoyed by
Mr.. and Mrs. Washington Q. Public.
We find that the general rise in cost
over last year need not cause the
budget fainting spell.
For instance. let's start off with
soup. Way back in 1899. Washing
ton stores were offering three cans
of soup for an average of 18 cents;
in 1910 the tariff was three for 19-
and this year you can buy three cans
of soup for an average Of II cents
down 2.
Celery for the relish dish cost
from to cents a bunch in 1899,
from to 10 cents a bunch in 1910
and will relieve you of fNm 9 to II
cents a bunch this marketing day.
That's up quite a bit-but you don't
have to have it.
Some Turkeys at 90 Cents.
Turkeys are definitely higher than
last year. but by shopping around
you can still get one at the 29-cent
figure featured as the low in 1899.
when they ranged upward to SO
cents for the better quality birds.
In 1910 you could pay anywhere
from 26 cents to AZ cents or more
for your turkey: this year the aver
age price range seems to be between
81 cents and 46 cents. again depend
ing upon the quality of the bird.
However. as we said, you can still
find some priced at 90 cents these
are the city dressed" variety, as a
rule.
Sausage meat for stufting cost II
to % cents in 1899, and II to q
cents in 1910. This year you'll have
to pay from "a to 20 cents for
pound of it. Bread is about cent
over last year Cranberries are still
running pounds for 25 cents on an
average-the same as in 1889 and a
bit less than in 1910, when they were
selling at Is and 10 cents per pound.
You can get pounds of potatoes
for Is cents this year, as against 4
pounds for 10 cents in 1899, and 5
pounds for IA cents in 1910. Snap
beans are about cents higher than
they were in 1899, and II cents
higher than in l940-better stick to
canned peas for this years dinner
which are only about 2 to 5 cents
higher than last year. according to
grade.
Mincemeat Down.
The lettuce in your salad will cost
YOU a little bit more than in 1889,
Evening star., 1941-11-18
Thanksgiving Dinner Costs Rise
But Less Than Some Suspect
Careful Shopping and Trimming Of
'Foncy Trimmins' Can Absorb Shock

but almost the same as IN 1910. when
the price averaged 9 cents per head
or a little less You could get three
cans of pumpkin for pie for 25 cents
in 1899 for l9 cents in l940-and
this year it is back at the 25 cents
level Mincemeat sold for an aver
age of "a cents for 2 pounds III 1889,
% TO 25 cents in 1910. and this year
is priced between 81 and % cents for
2 pounds in most stores. However,
mincemeat is something on which
you can go as high as YOU please
if you start getting into the home
made, branded. specially prepared
class.
Mixed nuts are bit higher than
last year-hitting an average of Is
cents pound as against % in 1910.
These figures are based on the
average prices appearing in adver-
tising columns of The Star over a
period covering 1899 1910 and this
years Thanksgiving specials. They
don't pretend to establish close
comparative price trends. and per-
centages-but the average woman
doesn't worry too much about sta
tistical data when she's off TO buy
her family's Thanksgiving dinner.
She wants to know whether it's 60
ing to cost her more this year than
last. And it certainly will-but not
enough to make her take to bread
and water for week after A few
cents more for the main ingredients
can be counterbalanced by purchas-
ing fewer of the fancy trimmin's." ;"
So you can still have your turkey
and enjoy it, too!
