Americans will finally get to celebrate Thanksgiving in person this year – but that turkey and trimmings will cost quite a bit more.
A new survey from the American Farm Bureau Federation found that a typical Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people will cost $53.31 – that’s 14% more than last year’s average of $46.90.
Items with the biggest price increase include turkeys (24%), pie crusts (20%) and dinner rolls (15%). Stuffing is the only item that fell in price this year – down 19% from 2020.
How much do you usually spend on Thanksgiving dinner? Are you changing the menu this year because of how expensive things have gotten?
