WASHINGTON — The retail cost of menu items for a classic Thanksgiving dinner including turkey, stuffing, cranberries, pumpkin pie and all the basic trimmings increased less than 1 percent this year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
AFBF's 27th annual informal price survey of classic items found on the Thanksgiving Day dinner table indicates the average cost of this year's feast for 10 is $49.48, a 28-cent price increase from last year's average of $49.20.
"At just under $5 per person, the cost of this year's meal remains a bargain," said AFBF President. . .
