Thanksgiving Dinner Costs 6% More Than Last Year

So says the American Farm Bureau, who monitors the average cost of dinner for a family of 10. This year, the average cost will be $44.61, a $2.35 spike compared to the 2007 holdiay's average of $42.26 to get Thanksgiving dinner on the table.Yesterday, I talked to some consumers who are economically challenged. One didn't have a microwave. One shops at Aldi and said trading up to a brand would be a sacrifice for her. And today's news report states more Americans are on food stamps than ever before.


A good reminder to give Thanks tomorrow.
