We have done Bob Evans before and will this year. It is excellent from dinner to dessert. They have orders for different sizes of meals.

Publix the last five years for TG and Xmas. Corn casserole and whipped sweet potatoes are two extra sides we buy. 10-12 lb bird. Cranberry relish is great if you like it on the tart side. Usually get 3-4 full meals out of it. King’s Hawaiian roles great for sopping up the gravy. Have a happy, healthy and safe Thanksgiving

WAWA! You have to try their Turkey Gobbler dinner! It is (literally) to die for (or from)! Mostly fresh turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and stuffing! In a bowl or on a sandwich! Yummmmm !

We tried Cracker Barrel last year and it was a 2 hour wait. Went to Bob Evans and it wasn't good.
Doing dinner at home this year.

Brined fresh turkey from TJs, russet potatoes to mash, have loaf of stale bread for stuffing. Fresh corn, ribbon jello. Cheating by buying TJs turkey gravy, and stock. Making Cannoli for dessert.

With so much time on my hands cooking is a no brainer.Nothing like the smell of turkey cooking. But Thanksgiving will be on Saturday when we return from Disney. Cause leftovers is the best part.

So true!

Oh, how we loved Wegman’s !!

They put Publix to shame by a long shot !!!

We’re originally from the Rochester area (Spencerport)..... as you probably know, Wegman’s originated in Rochester, first store was (is) on Monroe Avenue....

We tried Publix when we first moved here and it was simply awful. Maybe they've improved since then but our experience was not good.

BTW, I love Publix for pretty much everything else.
