AFB Says Thanksgiving Dinner Will Cost 13% More Than Last Year
The Arizona Farm Bureau says that the cost of your Thanksgiving meal will be 13% higher than it was last year.
This year’s turkey dinner with all the trimmings will cost $50.06 for an Arizona family of 10. Without factoring in store coupons or specials, the cost of a 16 pound turkey purchased in Arizona this year is $21.28, or $1.33 a pound. That’s an increase of 28 cents a pound. But this year’s meal is still $2.75 cheaper than it was three years ago when the total was $52.81.
The 2011 Thanksgiving meal cost estimate is the result of the Arizona Farm Bureau’s annual informal survey of the prices of basic food items found on the Thanksgiving dinner table.
This year the Farm Bureau also has an Organic Price Survey on the same food items. An Organic Thanksgiving dinner will cost more than twice the amount of the non-organic purchase of the same items.
