Thanksgiving Prep – final week

You've got this

Thanksgiving is coming up fast! But you are prepared!

OK, lets recap what you should have done by the end of next week in order to have a saner Thanksgiving Dinner…

_____ House cleaned

_____ Non-perishables purchased

_____ Extra provisions for guests, just in case, sample size soaps, shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes…

_____ First aid kit

_____ Tums, Pepto, Tylenol…

_____ Extra points for having the good dishes and silverware cleaned. 🙂

_____ Turkey purchased by November 23rd or 24th. I don’t have room in my freezer to buy it before then. You can leave a thawed turkey in the fridge only 1 or 2 days before cooking.

Start thawing in fridge Sunday night or Monday depending on size. 24 lb. turkey takes 3 days to thaw in the fridge.

If you missed the specific details for any of the above, you can find the planners, meal planning and shopping lists in these posts –

Time and money saving tip – you can order all of your non-perishables from Walmart and pick them up for free on orders over $35. Or you can join Walmart+ and have them delivered. I’ve gotten spoiled with this service. That’s why I’m a Walmart Partner.
