A national survey conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation finds the cost of the Thanksgiving dinner is slightly lower this year. Louisiana Farm Bureau spokesperson Avery Davidson says the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner at home will cost you two dollars less.
“If you’re having a gathering of about ten people, you can expect the cost of Thanksgiving dinner to be down about four percent,” said Davidson.
Davidson says the main reason for the decline is that turkeys are a little cheaper this year.
“Some of that is gonna be some incentive for the grocery stores, they’ll take a little price loss on the big bird in order to get you in the door to buy some other items,” said Davidson
Even though the overall cost is down, Davidson says there are some side dishes that could cost more than normal.
“Pumpkin pie filling is up about six percent from last year, a dozen rolls went up by about 16-cents,” said Davidson.
