Thanksgiving Meal Price In Georgia: Here's How Much You'll Pay

There's some great news if you plan on purchasing items today for a Thanksgiving Day feast: the American Farm Bureau Federation says in its 32nd annual price survey of Thanksgiving Day dinners that the average cost of this year's feast is $49.12, which is a 75-cent drop from last year's average.

The shopping list the Farm Bureau used includes turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a veggie tray, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and coffee and milk, "all in quantities sufficient to serve a family of 10 with plenty for leftovers," the statement reads.
