Lower prices for turkey, milk, rolls, and sweet potatoes have resulted in a decrease in the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Thanksgiving Dinner Survey.
John Newton, AFBF’s director of market intelligence, says the informal survey shows the cost of food items for a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people was around $49, the lowest it has been since 2013.
He says the turkey, which is about 50 percent of the cost of the items in the survey, was lower this year at $22.
