Cost Estimates for Thanksgiving 2024 Released by Wisconsin Farm Bureau

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation has released its annual survey of Thanksgiving meal costs, with 2023 pricing coming in at $57.61 for a dinner to serve ten people. This represents a two percent decrease from the previous year. A breakdown of the prices includes items such as a 16-pound turkey for $25.60 and a gallon of milk for $3.24. Local news anchor Erica Finke tested these prices at a local store and found the total cost to be $48.20, with significant discounts on the turkey. The bureau’s list does not cover additional items like gravy and butter, which would incur extra costs. Overall, this year’s Thanksgiving dinner cost seems to have remained affordable despite minor fluctuations in prices, offering Wisconsin families a budget-friendly option for the holiday meal.
