Hosting Thanksgiving dinner can be a stressful affair. You’re not only in charge of making dishes that will please everyone at the table, you’re often also solely responsible for footing the bill.
Depending on the size of your family or friend group, that can add up fast. While overall food prices have declined in 2024 and are expected to continue falling, food-at-home prices are expected to increase 1.2% this year, according to the USDA. A survey from Butterball found 98% of consumers expect inflation to impact their Thanksgiving plans, compared to the 79% in 2023.
