\"\"<\/p>\n

The American Farm Bureau Federation\u2019s 32nd annual price survey of classic items found on the Thanksgiving Day dinner table indicates the average cost of this year\u2019s feast for 10 is $49.12, a 75-cent decrease from last year\u2019s average of $49.87.<\/p>\n

The big ticket item \u2013 a 16-pound turkey \u2013 came in at a total of $22.38 this year. That\u2019s roughly $1.40 per pound, a decrease of 2 cents per pound, or a total of 36 cents per whole turkey, compared to 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the second consecutive year, the overall cost of Thanksgiving dinner has declined,\u201d AFBF Director of Market Intelligence Dr. John Newton said. \u201cThe cost of the dinner is the lowest since 2013 and second-lowest since 2011. Even as America\u2019s family farmers and ranchers continue to face economic challenges, they remain committed to providing a safe, abundant and affordable food supply for consumers at Thanksgiving and throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shopping list for Farm Bureau\u2019s informal survey includes turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a veggie tray, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and coffee and milk, all in quantities sufficient to serve a family of 10 with plenty for leftovers.<\/p>\n

Consumers continue to see lower retail turkey prices due to continued large inventory in cold storage, which is up almost double digits from last year, Newton explained.<\/p>\n

Foods showing the largest decreases this year in addition to turkey, were a gallon of milk, $2.99; a dozen rolls, $2.26; two nine-inch pie shells, $2.45; a 3-pound bag of sweet potatoes, $3.52; a 1-pound bag of green peas, $1.53; and a group of miscellaneous items including coffee and ingredients necessary to prepare the meal (butter, evaporated milk, onions, eggs, sugar and flour), $2.72.<\/p>\n

\u201cMilk production has increased, resulting in continued low retail prices,\u201d Newton said. \u201cIn addition, grocers often use milk as a loss leader to entice consumers to shop at their stores.\u201d<\/p>\n

Items that increased modestly in price were: a half-pint of whipping cream, $2.08; a 14-ounce package of cubed bread stuffing, $2.81; a 30-ounce can of pumpkin pie mix, $3.21; a 12-ounce bag of fresh cranberries, $2.43; and a 1-pound veggie tray, $.74.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhole whipping cream is up about 4 percent in price, due to increased consumer demand for full-fat dairy products,\u201d Newton said.<\/p>\n

The stable average price reported this year by Farm Bureau for a classic Thanksgiving dinner tracks with the government\u2019s Consumer Price Index for food eaten at home. But while the most recent CPI report for food at home shows a 0.5 percent increase over the past year (available online at http:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/cpi.nr0.htm<\/a>), the Farm Bureau survey shows a 1.5 percent decline.<\/p>\n

After adjusting for inflation, the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner is $20.54, the lowest level since 2013.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A total of 141 volunteer shoppers checked prices at grocery stores in 39 states for this year\u2019s survey. Farm Bureau volunteer shoppers are asked to look for the best possible prices, without taking advantage of special promotional coupons or purchase deals, such as spending $50 and receiving a free turkey.<\/p>\n

Shoppers with an eye for bargains in all areas of the country should be able to purchase individual menu items at prices comparable to the Farm Bureau survey averages. Another option for busy families without a lot of time to cook is ready-to-eat Thanksgiving meals for up to 10 people, with all the trimmings, which are available at many supermarkets and take-out restaurants for around $50 to $75.<\/p>\n

The AFBF Thanksgiving dinner survey was first conducted in 1986. While Farm Bureau does not make any scientific claims about the data, it is an informal gauge of price trends around the nation. Farm Bureau\u2019s survey menu has remained unchanged since 1986 to allow for consistent price comparisons.<\/p>\n
