Turkey Day is right around the casserole. Here are some of the big stores that are open, and closed, on Thanksgiving.
Our day of gluttony will be here before we know it. While many folks don’t get too into Thanksgiving and go straight to thinking about Christmas, it’s still a time to gather with family. And that, requires some planning and preparation to get all of those good foods together.
Some people plan ahead, do their grocery shopping, and have everything ready to go for the feast. Others, wait until the day-of to pickup last minute ingredients or grab that veggie tray from the local store. If you’re the latter, you’ll want to double check this list so you know where you can go if you need to pick up something up quick day-of.
