Your Thanksgiving turkey and all its fixings are going to cost you more this year; approximately 13 percent more, says the American Farm Bureau Association (AFBA). Should you be inviting 10 people (including yourself) to your dinner table this turkey day, you can expect to pay just under $50 for turkey and trimmings.

This $50 price tag includes the turkey, stuffing, cranberries, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, vegetable tray of celery and carrots, milk and coffee. And lets not forget the pumpkin pie with whipped cream as that's included too. And you'll also have leftovers, promises AFBA.

Still the turkey represents the largest big ticket item on the dinner table this year -- coming in at $21.57, which is a 25 percent increase from last year. Other items on the menu list also have price increases, including milk, pumpkin pie mix, bread stuffing, yams, and coffee.

But even with the rise in the food prices for your Thanksgiving dinner, you can still save money while having a feast. Here are 4 ways to save money on your Turkey Day dinner:

1. Opt for a frozen turkey. As mentioned above, the turkey is the biggest meal expense. Frozen turkeys are just as tasty as fresh, but they are cheaper. One caveat: allow enough time for your frozen turkey to thaw before Thanksgiving. A good rule of thumb is to allow one full day in the refrigerator to thaw for every 5 pounds of turkey.
2. Consider a partial pot-luck. Ask your guests to bring sides, desserts, or beverages. You'll still cook the main event, but you'll defray some of the cost of the entire meal.
3. Take advantage of membership clubs. When shopping in bulk for ingredients, you can save a pretty penny by purchasing your items at membership warehouse clubs like Costco and Sam's Club.
4. Use frozen or canned items. Fresh vegetables that are out of season may be very expensive. However, supermarkets often run sales this time of the year on frozen or canned vegetables. Scour your local grocery ads to find the best deal. Most frozen vegetables are "flash frozen", making them just as tasty and healthy as the fresh alternative.
