Even Holiday cheer has a price tag. TLC did some calculations to figure the average cost of a Thanksgiving meal. According to them, the ole Turkey hasn’t been exempt from recession times—but it’s still not as expensive as you might think. How did everything weigh in?

Average cost of 16-lb turkey in 2008: $19.09 (up from $17.63 in 2007)

Average cost of a 10-person Thanksgiving meal in 2008: $44.61

That’s about $4.50 a person. Not bad. Gobble gobble! (A double entendre—for eating and for turkey sounds. But not for your wallet!)

Read the full article, which also contains some cost-cutting tips.

Think of the real costs…greenhouse gases…heart disease…why not have a Tofurky instead?
