It's that time of year when families start making the grocery list for Thanksgiving dinner.
The turkey will cost a little more this year, making feasts a little more expensive overall.
The American Farm Bureau Federation finds that the price of a typical Thanksgiving meal for ten people is up about 28 cents over last year.

The annual survey finds that buying the meal in the grocery store will cost $49.48.
The survey includes the price of a 16-pound turkey which the Farm Bureau prices at $1.39 a pound. 
Also included on the menu are pumpkin pie with whipped cream, a vegetable tray, cubed bread stuffing, three pounds of sweet potatoes, a gallon of whole milk, fresh cranberries, a pound of peas, a dozen brown and serve rolls, and miscellaneous items such as onions, eggs, sugar, flour and evaporated milk.
