It’s the cost of Thanksgiving. And my, is it hefty.
The average person will be spending $165.14 this holiday, according to lendedu.com. Ouch.
That’s broken down into $67.59 on travel, and $97.55 for other costs.
And don’t think you can get away with a small tab just because you’re not traveling anywhere. You can take the travel cost and put that towards and turkey and all the trimmings if you’re lucky enough to host.
Much of your expenses this year might be going towards a cover charge.

Yeah, it turns out quite a lot of families demand a general admission fee of around $30 per person for hosting the holiday feast.
Whatever happened to just bringing dessert and a bottle of wine?
The controversial revelation has obviously divided opinion.
People want to know if there are any additional perks for the paying the fee.
Y'all paying the $30 general admission to thanksgiving or the additional dub to skip the serving line?

You’d probably be exiled.
On that note: Does the ticket come with those little nightclub wrist stamps that guarantees re-entry to the house?
Is there a Thanksgiving re-entry fee if you and your cousins “take a walk” after dinner? I️ need to know.

The cover price is pretty alarming, when you consider the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for ten people is around $50, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF).
Actually, last year that price went down.

AFBF Director of Market Intelligence Dr John Newton said at the time: ‘We have seen farm prices for many foods — including turkeys — fall from the higher levels of recent years. This translates into lower retail prices for a number of items as we prepare for Thanksgiving and confirms that US consumers benefit from an abundant, high-quality and affordable food supply.’
