According to economists at Farm Bureau, Thanksgiving turkeys are cheaper than they’ve ever been this year. The average Thanksgiving turkey can cost about $20-$30; and that’s just one of about half-a-dozen dishes your average family shares before Black Friday. The average Thanksgiving meal costs $48.91 for a party of ten. But with New York Times Cooking on our Instagram feeds and Bon Appetit's ramped-up YouTube series, our turkey day ambitions can easily run us $200. To make matters worse, this is all in the days leading up to payday and the most intense shopping holiday of the year.
