Survey Shows Cost Of Thanksgiving Meal Still Cheap

A survey by the Missouri Farm Bureau finds the traditional Thanksgiving meal for ten costs just over $32. Diane Olson with the Bureau says the survey priced a 16-pound turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, rolls and pumpkin pie. But Olson says more and more Missourians are skipping tradition altogether – wither eating out or having much of the meal catered in. Olson made her price checks two weeks ago to better reflect true pricing rather than the discounts offered the week of Thanksgiving.
