Thanksgiving dinner cost holds steady

Americans on average will be paying about the same for a Thanksgiving Day dinner in 2019 as they have last year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation 34th annual survey of the holiday’s dinner table items. AFBF pegged the average cost of a classic Thanksgiving turkey dinner for 10 at $48.91, or less than $5 per person, compared with the 2018 average cost of $48.90.
