The Cost of Thanksgiving Dinner, 2012

Shoppers often fret about what they perceive is the ever-rising costs for the goods they need to buy each day. This  year, however, they have at least one holiday blessing to be thankful for: the cost of a turkey dinner and all the trimmings has risen only slightly from last year. 

According to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s survey, turkey dinner and all the fixings will cost about $49.48, or just 28 cents more than it did last year. 

Last year, consumers were hit with one of the biggest price increases for traditional Thanksgiving trimmings in years, after poor weather shrank the size of U.S. crops.
