Average Cost of Thanksgiving Dinner Remains Virtually Unchanged from 2018

The average cost of a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people in 2019 is $48.91, only 1 cent more than last year’s average, according to American Farm Bureau Federation’s 34th annual survey of classic items found on the Thanksgiving Day dinner table.

“The average cost of this year’s Thanksgiving dinner is essentially unchanged from last year, after three years of decline since 2015,” said AFBF chief economist Dr. John Newton. “Americans continue to enjoy the most affordable food supply in the world, but most don’t realize only 8 cents of every dollar consumers spend on food goes to farmers."
