Thanksgiving 2021 Grocery Guide: Open or Closed

For some of us, this is the first year since the start of the pandemic that we can host a house full of loved ones or go to Grandma’s house for her famous cornbread dressing. In our excitement we are forced to forget something, whether it is the jellied cranberry sauce in a can or the peak for eggnog that makes us understand Uncle Earl’s political views.

Here is a list of grocery and discount stores for last-minute Thanksgiving items and others that will be closed to “thank their associates.”
