There are always people who think they deserve more than everybody else. They constantly ask for a discount, try to gorge on more freebies than they can carry, never tip, and always try to get things for free. And there’s a specially dedicated place for them called “Choosing Beggars,” a 2.2M-strong subreddit that collects the most hilariously embarrassing cases.

And you may think that Thanksgiving, a national holiday which essentially encapsulates the word and the meaning giving, would stop them. Well, not really. Apparently, the festivity may as well serve as a perfect opportunity to have all its perks without putting in all the effort or losing a dime.

So this time we collected some of the most crazy examples of beggars in action: Thanksgiving edition. After you’re done, be sure to check out our previous posts with people whose ego and entitlement is too big for this tiny world here, here and here.

    Great. She can do the same for me when I need my 5 indoor kitties fed, watered and poopy-scooped twice a day for a week while I'm at my family reunion. Oh, wait. Where'd she go?

    Invite Us To Your Thanksgiving! But Only If You Have These Things And We Will Only Bring Dessert. Tia

    This Thanksgiving may have been the most expensive one for the host so far. How come? Well, it turns out that agricultural economists, farmers and grocery executives predicted that nearly every component of the traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, from the disposable aluminum turkey roasting pan to the coffee and pie, come at a higher price this year.

    Interestingly, last year, the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 was the lowest it had been since 2010, the American Farm Bureau reported. So what on earth has happened? Turns out that last year, during the height of the pandemic, everyone was laying low with celebrations, and very few people were buying groceries for big gatherings. Grocery sellers were keeping the prices of the Thanksgiving staple—turkey—pretty low to attract the shoppers.

    But after the global vaccination, the world has opened up and big gatherings resumed as if they had never stopped. So did the demand for turkey and other foods, whose prices have been soaring rapidly this past year.

    The New York Times suggests that we shouldn’t look for a single culprit to explain the phenomenon. According to them, the nation’s food supply has been battered by a knotted supply chain, high transportation expenses, labor shortages, trade policies and bad weather. Inflation is at play, too.

    I don't see a problem with this? If she's no takers, then no one with $15 is interested. But I bet there are people that can swing for that amount that can't or don't want to cook their own dinner. She's not expecting homeless people to buy it.

    Numbers also speak for themselves. The Consumer Price Index for food was up 4.6 percent from a year ago in September, while the prices for meat, poultry, fish and eggs soared a whopping 10.5 percent. For those wondering what’s up with the sky-high turkey prices, it may have to do with the fact that the price of corn, which most commercial turkeys feed on, more than doubled in some parts of the country from July 2020 to July 2021.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The Department of Agriculture turkey report released on Friday has also stated that whole frozen birds already cost 25 cents/pound more than they did a year ago. With much bigger holiday celebrations than last year, the demand for festive foods is likely not going anywhere, so there’s a slim chance you’ll get your hands on a turkey bargain.

    I fed a family of 7 with a turkey breast for many years when my kids were younger. Turns out you don't need to eat 12 pounds of turkey apiece to have a nice thanksgiving meal!

    The food isn't really the important thing about Thanksgiving, and the items pictured, although not necessarily what I would chose, have the huge benefit of being absolutely free. Even a very large family could have a nice dinner from what is pictured, with a few inexpensive additions. A heap of sweet potatoes, a couple more containers of stuffing, more potatoes, and you could feed a crowd for about $10 . . . for another few bucks you could add a pie.

    That comment is taken out of context because its an Ibotta deal where you pay for the product and get reimbursed from Ibotta. The picture does show a tiny turkey, but you can get any size and they'll reimburse up to a certain amount so the comment that was left isn't "entitled", really.

    If you look closely..... Isn't the ad that lists a free dinner a perk for a credit card?? That's what it seems to be and not a charity. And yeah I think the commenter was just trying to be funny

    I don't think that person was commenting bcuz they needed any help. I think they just wanted to point out the smaller than normal turkey that is pictured. Tbh, it does look kinda strange bcuz I'm used to seeing larger turkeys being sold at grocery stores. It'd be perfect for a couple who are staying home together for the day Just my opinion y'all.

    This person has a serious, serious attitude problem. It's very clear that her mantra is "see how hard things are" as she says in one of her msgs. She also expects other ppl serve her solutions to all her problems without any effort from herself at all.

    I don't see anything wrong with this. If you don't ask, you don't get. She listed what she normally has, and there will be people out there who may want to provide or have spare.
