"Thanksgiving dinner will be 5% cheaper this year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), an agricultural insurance company that has been compiling the statistics for 40 years. Although this is the third consecutive annual decline, consumers have not fully recovered from the sharp increases that took classic dinner to a record high in 2022, explains Faith Parum, an economist who prepared the report for the agricultural organization."
"Parum estimates that this year's traditional Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people, which includes 12 ingredients such as turkey, green beans, cranberry sauce, bread rolls, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie, among others, will cost around $55.18, or $5.52 per person. This is the cheapest Thanksgiving dinner since 2021, just before the inflationary crisis triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine."
Thanksgiving dinner prices fell about 5% this year, marking the third consecutive annual decline. The American Farm Bureau Federation reports a traditional meal for 10 will cost about $55.18, or $5.52 per person. That amount is the lowest since 2021, after a 2022 record high tied to inflationary pressures following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The 12-item meal includes turkey, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. AFBF president Zippy Duvall noted food prices remain a concern, and Wells Fargo estimates a higher $80–$95 range depending on shopping choices.
