Can we work through an example of finding a holiday gift together?
Okay, so we're actually going to go to ChatGPT now. Yes.
Okay, so what happens next?
I probably go open a bunch of new tabs to search for them.
Legos, ouch.
Kurt, is that a deal breaker for you? I mean, if I see one price advertised, but then it's a different price when I actually get to the website, I might not be too happy.
Kurt and Amanda, is there anything people should watch out for when it comes to using AI?
All good advice. And, you know, honestly, I mean, we can't get upset with ChatGPT for not giving us the perfect idea because isn't some of that supposed to be up to us? Right.
Kurt Wook and Amanda Barroso, thank you so much for helping us out today. It's been fun. And happy Thanksgiving.
Up next, a few money headlines from the last few days. Well, Ana, if folks end up using AI to do their holiday shopping on Amazon, they'll be doing it in the midst of a labor action against the company.
Yeah, it's part of a campaign called Make Amazon Pay, launched by a coalition of international workers' rights groups. They say the protests are an effort to focus attention on wages and employee treatment, as well as Amazon's environmental sustainability record and corporate tax breaks.
All right, Anna, this is the one time of year I'll do this. Gobble, gobble.
Well, that's just gravy, isn't it? The American Farm... Sorry, folks. The American Farm Bureau Federation issued its yearly Thanksgiving dinner cost analysis, and the average this year to serve 10 people is $58.08. That's down from $61.71 last year... and $64.05 in 2022. But it's still 19% higher than the pre-pandemic feast in 2019.
I have indigestion just from that list. There is more if you want it. The Farm Bureau has an add-on menu that includes ham, potatoes, and frozen green beans, which would add $19.26 to the bill for 10 people.
Or green bean casserole, for that matter. We protest. And Anna, on our way over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house, we might pass some areas where folks have new neighbors.
And sales were up 2.9% from a year ago, likely due to a drop in mortgage rates.
One final note here. You may have heard about President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to slap a 25% tariff on all goods imported from Canada and Mexico and 10% on goods from China. We'll have an explainer on what tariffs are and what that potentially means for your finances in next week's show. All right, that's it for this week's money news.
