The American Farm Bureau’s annual Thanksgiving Dinner Cost Survey found that the cost of an average Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people costs 30% more this year, on average, than the same meal cost in 2020. Additionally, it found that the "expanded" meal, which includes ham and additional sides, will cost just over 40% more than that same meal pre-Biden. A recent poll of Battleground state voters, including those from North Carolina, showed that rising food prices were the top inflationary concern for respondents. This survey was conducted amid concerns over nationwide inflation.
