DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — Turkey, dressing, casseroles and a couple of pies. It all adds up — especially when you’re feeding a house full of family.
Self Financial estimates the ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal serving 10 cost about $138 this year, compared with about $80 in 2000. That’s roughly $58 more, or a 73% increase, before adjusting for inflation.
The estimate covers a set menu, and some historical prices were reconstructed. Your grocery bill will depend on your family’s favorites, the deals you find and who’s bringing a dish.
