This Year The Average Thanksgiving Meal Will Cost . . .

The American Farm Bureau Federation put out its annual Thanksgiving report, and it says the average dinner for ten will cost $64.05 this year, up 20%. That comes out to $6.41 per person, up from $5.33 a year ago. The biggest price jump this year is for stuffing, up 69%. These are the FOODS they use when coming up with their “typical” Thanksgiving feast costs . . . A 16-pound turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, dinner rolls, peas, carrots and celery, pumpkin pie mix, two pie crusts, a half-pint of whipped cream, and a gallon of milk. They also do an “updated” version with three more foods a lot of us include now. If you add mashed potatoes, green beans, and ham, it jumps to $8.13 a person. Click HERE to see the whole report.
