ACES: Thanksgiving dinner costs rise, but savvy shoppers can save

AUBURN UNIVERSITY, Ala. – Alabama families planning their Thanksgiving meals may notice higher prices this year on several holiday staples, but a few strategic substitutions could help keep costs in check. To gauge grocery prices going into the holiday season, Wendiam Sawadgo , an Alabama Cooperative Extension System economist, looked at data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service’s Grocery Store Feature Reports. It showed that the estimated cost of a traditional Thanksgiving meal basket increased from about $68.38 in 2025 to $75.08 in 2026, or about 10%. The analysis compared average retail prices from the first three full weeks of October in both years. Fresh produce and turkey accounted for most of the increase, while some common holiday ingredients became more affordable. Sawadgo said changes in supply and demand drive shifts in food prices. “On the supply side, increased fuel and fertilizer prices, due to the situation in Iran, have increased the cost required to produce many agricultural products this year,” he said. “The higher fuel prices also increase transportation costs across the supply chain, ultimately affecting the prices consumers pay. And increased labor prices have an especially large adverse effect on fruit and vegetable production.” Turkey
