Turkey prices are soaring and some are starting to think twice about serving a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
With inflation, consumers are being more careful with their budget while others are turning to food pantries for help.
"I've been shopping forever and definitely things are not on sale as much as they used to be. Vegetables have gone way up and you can't find some stuff," Pratt said.When it comes to serving your Thanksgiving turkey, bird flu is also partly to blame for rising prices. The average price for a whole frozen bird is $2.45 per pound, up 70 cents from last year.
Camarena says it serves about 300 families every week. Those families are reaching out for help to try to make ends meet.
