According to a release by the American Farm Bureau, the cost of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people is $44.61, a $2.35 price increase from last year’s average of $42.26. MORE>>I'd be hard-pressed to get lunch at a local fast-food joint for $4.46, and I suspect the nutritional value of roast turkey with stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls, cranberries, peas and pumpkin pie with whipped cream is far superior to a burger, fries and a soda.
Besides, how do you put a price tag on the opportunity to gather with family and friends to give thanks for the many blessings of the past year? At our house, we're grateful we still have a house and a job to pay for it, good health and each other's love and respect.
Happy Thanksgiving!
