This Thursday, November 27, Americans are busy preparing their Thanksgiving feasts for family and friends. Before they sit down to reflect on what they’re grateful for, many are making final trips to the grocery store to pick up essential ingredients and last-minute fixings.
Typically, the bulk of shopping happens on the Tuesday or Wednesday before Thanksgiving, with only quick, early-morning runs left for the holiday itself. But because Thanksgiving is a federal holiday, many major retailers and supermarkets remain closed on the day.
