"Let's talk turkey. Every November the age-old, anxiety-inducing question arises as many inquire, "How much is Thanksgiving dinner going to cost this year?" Well, the answer might be more refreshing than in years past. Grocery prices have been an increasing concern voiced by the general public, and many are expecting dinner to cost an arm and a leg. While some families are worried about the cost of dinner, others are trying to use this grocery cost spike to get creative and try other foods"
"Turkey prices are surging this year as bird flu outbreaks tank the number of birds available to purchase this Thanksgiving. The U.S. turkey flock has plunged to its lowest number of birds in 40 years due to the bird flu. As a result, wholesale turkey prices have risen 75% since October of 2024, according to an analysis by the Purdue University College of Agriculture."
Thanksgiving turkey prices have surged because bird flu outbreaks reduced the U.S. turkey flock to its lowest level in 40 years. Wholesale turkey prices jumped about 75% since October 2024, with USDA data showing roughly $1.71 per pound versus 2024's $0.94 and projections to $2.05 by late November. Experts warn that finding a deal may require extra effort. Rising grocery costs are prompting some families to experiment with nontraditional dishes. Major retailers are marketing affordable Thanksgiving meal bundles, such as Walmart's 16-pound turkey-and-sides bundle and Aldi's $40 dinner that feeds ten people.
