If you’re planning on cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year, expect a heftier grocery bill.
Thanks to factors like inflation, bird flu, record-high feed prices, supply-chain disruption and the war in Ukraine,according to an American Farm Bureau Federation survey.“General inflation slashing the purchasing power of consumers is a significant factor contributing to the increase in average cost of this year’s Thanksgiving dinner.”Each year, the Farm Bureau sends volunteer shoppers to supermarkets across all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
The turkey is gobbling up most of the budget this year with a 16-pound bird clocking in at $28.96, which is $1.81 a pound, up 21% from last year. But the Farm Bureau noted that their shoppers checked prices Oct. 18-31, and since then, most grocery store chains have put discounts on whole frozen turkeys.“consumers who have not yet purchased a turkey should be able to find one at a lower cost than the Farm Bureau average.”16-pound turkey: $28.96 or $1.81 per pound Half pint of whipping cream: $2.24 30-ounce can of pumpkin pie mix: $4.
