According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the cost of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for ten diners increased by $6.50 per person to an average of $64 for the meal using a standard list of ingredients.  The cost was based on prevailing supermarket values in late October and included turkey at $1.81 per pound.  Escalation in cost reflects commodity prices influenced by world markets and the situation in Ukraine in addition to inflation in transport costs, labor and energy in the U.S.
