If you happen to be the one who is hosting Thanksgiving this year you know how much preparation goes into putting together the magnificent feast. This includes purchasing many food items. There are some items you can buy beforehand while others you may have to wait a little closer to Thanksgiving Day.

One thing that you'll want to be aware of is if you are a Target shopper, you won't want to wait until Nov. 28 to purchase items for Thanksgiving dinner. Not only would this be a stressful situation but Target stores throughout Massachusetts will be closed in observance of the November holiday.
