How Organic Are You Going This Thanksgiving?
Smart Money did a side-by-side cost comparison of a Thanksgiving meal for eight using all organic ingredients and a feast using conventionally sourced stuff.
The verdict: The all-organic meal cost $295.36, almost $170 more than the regular meal ($126.75).
What drove the cost of the organic meal through the roof? Not surprisingly, it was the $99.80 20-pound organic turkey, which cost a whopping $76 more.
