Thanksgiving is less than one week away (cue the sigh — time flies!), and if you were tasked with hosting responsibilities this year, many grocery retailers want to help you do it for less — specifically when it comes to stress, money and time.
Retailers like HEB, Target, Sam’s Club, and Walmart have prepared a bundle of sorts with everything you need to create a homemade (or pre-made) traditional Thanksgiving meal at home, including ingredients for entrees, sides and even sometimes desserts.
Aside from preparing the meal, decorating your space and getting it ready for hosting is a whole other task, which is why we rounded up some hosting essentials, from trending items to editor-loved pieces that we pull out each time guests come over.
