Your Thanksgiving dinner this year could cost more thanks to Hurricane Floyd. The fall storm killed an estimated 800-thousand turkeys in eastern North Carolina--that's causing prices to be pushed up an average 52 cents for a 16 pound turkey. That means you could pay around 14 dollars and 23 cents for that size bird. But don't blame it all on the bird. The wholesale price of turkey has actually dropped a bit since July, and grocery stores often sell the birds for less than the wholesale price as a gimmick.
