The Los Angeles Times reports that a new report from the American Farm Bureau Federation says that the average cost of a Thanksgiving dinner – including turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, pumpkin pie – will be up 5.6 percent this year compared to 2007, to $44.61 for ten people.
However, the group notes that adjusted for inflation, the cost of Thanksgiving dinner is a better deal this year than it was 20 years ago, and is cheaper per-person than a fast food meal.

That’s because the Content Kids have made one request and only one request for this year’s Thanksgiving dinner: steak.
