You’ll be dishing out a little more cash for your Thanksgiving meal this year...

The cost of living is always on the rise – and so is the cost of Thanksgiving...

Overall, you’ll pay about 6 bucks more for just the basics this year – up from $43.47 to $48.20. Here are some specifics:

• 16 pound turkey: Up $4 to $21.57

• Gallon of milk: Up $1 to $3.66

• Pumpkin pie mix: Up 40 cents to $3.03

• Whipping cream: Up 26 cents

Of course most of us will want more than just turkey, milk and pie. The price of your potatoes, peas, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberries, dinner rolls and butter are all up a few cents too. You can tack on more increases for wine and coffee – and an additional buck per gallon of gas from last year to get you where you’re going.
