"Last Word"-The Turkey Day Financial Feast

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, it costs more to fly and drive this holiday, so it shouldn't be a huge surprise that the price of your Thanksgiving dinner has also gone up this year. The average cost of a typical American Thanksgiving meal is $42.26 for a family of 10, an 11 percent increase from last year, according to the American Farm Bureau. That's for a dinner of turkey, stuffing, cranberries and pumpkin pie with all the trimmings. Turkey prices have increased about $0.12 per pound. For many people, Thanksgiving is about spending time with family and getting together with loved ones. And you really can't put a price on that, right, Paul?

KANGAS: Invaluable, Susie. You couldn't have put it better.

GHARIB: I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving, Paul.

KANGAS: And the same to you.
