Your Thanksgiving dinner still costs way more than it did before the pandemic

• The price of a 10-person Thanksgiving dinner at home is $61.17 this year.
• That's down 4.5% from a year ago — but still 25% higher than in 2019 before the pandemic.
• Still, food prices are set to fall over the long term, according to an analyst.

Inflation-weary Americans are finally getting some relief with the price of Thanksgiving dinner down 4.5% from last year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, or AFBF.
