The cost of a Thanksgiving dinner in Arizona this year is 3.5 percent higher than it was last year.
Arizona Farm Bureau officials say a turkey dinner with all the trimmings will cost about $4.78 per person. That's an increase of about 17 cents from 2014.
Without factoring in store coupons or specials, the cost of a 16 pound turkey purchased in Arizona this year is $19.20, which is actually a decrease of 2 cents per pound. It’s the trimmings that cost more.
An organic dinner with all the trimmings will cost more than twice as much as a traditional dinner.
