Happy Thanksgiving to readers and visitors stopping by today who celebrate. Thank you for reading and if subscribed, thank for that as well.
This is actually the fifth Thanksgiving celebrated on this blog: 2003 (it snowed!), 2004 (my favorite Thanksgiving family picture to date), 2005, 2006 and today 2007 where it feels cold enough to snow, but isn’t snowing yet.
Forget the cranberry sauce? Need more rolls for Uncle Lou and the gang? Want to do a little holiday gift shopping while the bird is baking in the oven? Here are a few stores that might be open and links to their store locator pages, if available. If marked as (regional) they are regional to me, meaning the greater Seattle area.
Addendum (4:18pm PST): before going out to any of the stores, make sure you use the store locator and call the store in your area first. Be sure it’s open first.
Safeway store locator - plenty of yams (ick!) and cranberry sauce (yummy) here.
(regional) Top Foods store locator - groceries galore
Fred Meyer store locator - one of our favorite shopping places nearby is open until 4pm.
Walmart store locator - 24 hour stores only close on Christmas day.
Kmart store locator - our local Kmart has been pretty dead the last few times we’ve been there which means there might be some good deals there if it’s the same way in your area.
(regional) The Seattle PI has a list of what’s opened and closed today and tomorrow.
It needs to be stated more clealry that only 24 hour stores on Thanksgiving. I was misled to beleive that any Walmart was opened and spent a large amount of time going out to the store only to find out it was closed. For next year or upcoming events make sure to clarify the difference between a walmart store and a 24 hour walmart store when stating which is opened.
Thank you for your understanding,
Jaylee

Happy Thanksgiving, TDavid
This year, we already had our Thanksgiving family gathering last Sunday at my husband’s parents’ - which was great - so today’s just a relaxing holiday for us (yay!).
According to the Massachusetts Blue Laws, Thanksgiving Day falls into the category of Restricted Holidays for retail stores (except some convenience stores), meaning they canNOT be open today. Our neighborhood Whole Foods was open last night for some extended hours. BTW, yams are good for you!

Jaylee - sorry to hear that you went out and the Walmart in your area was closed
Follow the information on the store locator for the stores in your area before going out. I’m not sure how to make it any clearer: “Here are a few stores that might be open.”
