As a result, the cost of a Thanksgiving meal for 10 was lower than it had been in 2011, when the Farm Bureau said the average price was $49.20.<\/p>\n<p>That error of falling Thanksgiving expenses came to an abrupt halt thanks to the inflationary fiscal policies of President Joe Biden\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n<p>The price of turkey is a huge driver of this year\u2019s Thanksgiving inflation. Absent turkey, however, the average cost is still up 6 percent, according to the Farm Bureau.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the components of the traditional meal measured by the Farm Bureau, alongside their prices and price changes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>16-pound turkey: $23.99 or approximately $1.50 per pound (up 24%)<\/li>\n<li>2 frozen pie crusts: $2.91 (up 20%)<\/li>\n<li>30-ounce can of pumpkin pie mix: $3.64 (up 7%)<\/li>\n<li>Half pint of whipping cream: $1.78 (up 2%)<\/li>\n<li>1 dozen dinner rolls: $3.05 (up 15%)<\/li>\n<li>12-ounce bag of fresh cranberries: $2.98 (up 11%)<\/li>\n<li>1 gallon of whole milk: $3.30 (up 7%)<\/li>\n<li>1 pound of frozen peas: $1.54 (up 6%)<\/li>\n<li>3 pounds of sweet potatoes: $3.56 (up 4%)<\/li>\n<li>1-pound veggie tray (carrots &amp; celery): 82 cents (up 12%)<\/li>\n<li>Misc. ingredients to prepare the meal: $3.45 (up 12%)<\/li>\n<li>14-ounce bag of cubed stuffing mix: $2.29 (down 19%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This year\u2019s national average cost was calculated using over 2000 surveys completed with pricing data from all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
