Serving a Thanksgiving dinner of turkey and all the trimmings plus dessert and a beverage to 10 people will cost $26.39, the Farm Bureau estimates, based on a survey of prices in big and small cities in 28 states and the District. The price tag on dinner for 10 in 1991 was $25.95 and $28.80 in 1990. The hypothetical meal used for the survey included turkey and dressing, sweet potatoes, peas, rolls, cranberries, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, a relish dish, milk and coffee. The price survey was conducted by 120 AFBF volunteers. This article is copyright 1992 The Washington Times.
