Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people will cost $78.93 this year, down 0.4% from last year, according to the Wells Fargo Thanksgiving Food Report. That works out to about $7.89 per person for food. Six of the 10 food items the report tracks cost less than they did last year.
Turkey prices are down 0.5%. Cranberries fell 6.6%, and frozen vegetables dropped 4.2%. Prepackaged salad prices are unchanged.
At Winn-Dixie, District Director Keith Cowie said shoppers have two family meal deals priced at $40 and under. Customers who prefer not to cook can pick up a turkey or ham from the deli. Cowie said those meals come with four sides and King’s Hawaiian rolls, also for under $40.
Discount shoppers have other options. Chris Hunt, owner of Smart Shopper Discount Grocery, said the store stocks items that arrive unpredictably. “We always call it. It’s a treasure chest,” Hunt said. Shopper Kathleen Nay said she was buying hams for her church. “I love it here. It’s a good idea to come in here and get some good prices, and feel like you can meet your budget,” Nay said.
