So it's you're first Thanksgiving meal that you'll be hosting for preparing food for. It really does pay off to kind of know what you're doing or at least have a plan. Especially when it comes to the best time to shop for the meal. According to Michael Ruhlman's book The Buying and Selling of Food In America," The worst day to shop for your Thanksgiving table is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
"Everyone thinks that it's Wednesday and they'll still be fighting the nightmare crowds," says Ruhlman. "so they all try to beat the rush by shopping Tuesday." And sure, that means Wednesday is the actually more relaxed, but still not a great option because a lot of items have already been picked through
Just a heads up, your best bet is to buy your turkey and other ingredients a week before Turkey day. You certainly do not need any more stress in your life with all of the 2020 issues we have already been dealing with.
