Thanksgiving is coming up soon Thursday, Nov. 27, and you may want to check which Belleville-area grocery and liquor stores near you will be open for any last-minute ingredient needs.
You can expect your grocery bill to be higher than last year’s, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports grocery costs are up 2.7% from September 2024 to September 2025. Non-alcoholic beverages have seen the steepest increase at 5.3%, while meat, poultry, fish and eggs are up 5.2%.
Some grocery chains are offering discounts to combat inflation this year, including a $40 Thanksgiving meal for 10 people at Aldi and similar offerings from Walmart and Target.
Most banks will be closed Thanksgiving Day as it is considered a “bank holiday,” and the U.S. Postal Service will close for regular mail delivery, as well.
