(Indianapolis, IN) - Hoosiers will not see much change in the cost for an average Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people this year.

 

According to Indiana Farm Bureau, Indiana residents will pay an average of $53.62 for the meal, or $5.36 per person.  That’s an increase of just 0.6%, or three cents per person from 2024.

 

Indiana’s price is around 3% lower, or 16 cents less, than the national average price of $55.18 for the 10-person dinner, or $5.81 per person, INF said.

 

Todd Davis, the bureau’s chief economist, said Indiana has seen an increase in the price of some produce, including carrots, celery, sweet potatoes and peas.

 

“Those retail prices reflect an increase in factors beyond the farm gate, including transportation, labor, fuel, packaging and more that contribute to the overall increased cost of the product,” he said.

 

The prices of other items, including stuffing, milk and turkey, are reportedly lower than last year in Indiana, as well as nationally, INF said.
