After several years of rising food prices, Americans are finally getting a break at the Thanksgiving table , mainly due to falling turkey costs. The average cost of a traditional feast for a holiday gathering has dropped this year, according to new data from Wells Fargo and the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), with turkey, dinner rolls and stuffing leading the decline. While the cost of some sides is still eating into budgets, the overall cost of a traditional meal is down about 3% to 6%.
