I do my grocery shopping for Thanksgiving the day before Thanksgiving. It's kind of a tradition for me, so I keep it up. I forgot to buy a couple of items first time around, (even though I had my shopping list with me) so I ended up going there twice.
People were shopping like crazy (anyone feeling the recession?). However, no one started to fight, which is a good sign. The shelves were packed with everything you need for Thanksgiving: turkey, corn bread mixer, cranberry sauce, green beans, black eyed peas, you name it.
To do grocery shopping with a pre-schooler is a challenge (worse when it's the day before Thanksgiving and it's lots of people in the store). In the hurry to get in and out the store as soon as possible, I tried to avoid the bakery and candy section, so I wouldn't have to hear "I want donuts," or worse case, he eats some of the candy you pay by the weight before I see it and I can stop him.
Well, we made it out of the grocery store without any bigger issues, except for a couple of lily stems missing some flowers.
As I write, the turkey is defrosting, and the corn bread is made. Time to relax and get ready for tomorrow's cooking.
