How much will turkey dinner cost this holiday season? We crunched the numbers

Canadians could see some relief as they fill their shopping carts this holiday season.

After years of rising food prices, the cost of many pantry staples has stabilized — and there could be particular relief in the most expensive item on many Canadians’ holiday tables: the bird.
