While the cost of Thanksgiving dinner has increased by 12.81% since 2010, excluding the turkey the cost has risen by just 5.7% because the cost of the bird alone has risen by 23% and it represents almost half of the cost of Thanksgiving dinner. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, hopefully graced by the presence of the budget-busting bird and thanks for your interest, support and enthusiasm and see you on Monday!
