HARTFORD, Conn. — Carving into the most classic of all holiday main courses this year — the Thanksgiving turkey — will first mean shoppers digging a lot deeper into their wallets before they gather around the family dinner table.
And finding just the right size bird for the traditional family feast will be a lot tougher, too.
“People are coming in, and they are freaking out a bit,” Tim Devanney Jr., vice president of operations at Highland Park Market, which has stores in Manchester, Glastonbury and Farmington, Connecticut. “They’ve heard some rumblings about supplies and shortages so they are a little nervous for sure.”
