If you're headed to the grocery store in the coming days to purchase a Thanksgiving turkey don't be surprised to see a bigger number on the price tag than in previous years.
A new survey by the American Farm Bureau Federation has revealed that the price of turkey is up 3-percent from a year ago.
The cost of turkey will have a modest impact on the overall cost of Thanksgiving dinner, with the average 10-serving meal costing $49.85.
Experts say the increased price of turkey has nothing to do with a shortage since turkey supplies in cold storage are up 5 to 6-percent this year. They say the increased price is likely due to competing meats selling at a higher price, which has increased demand for turkey.
The American Farm Bureau came to these conclusions by surveying volunteer shoppers from around the country.
The hottest stories ripped from the headlines, from crime to courts, legal and scandal.
