Latest: Worst Day To Grocery Shop For Thanksgiving In Minnesota

Time is running out if you want to miss the worst day to go Thanksgiving dinner shopping in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois.

What Is the Worst Day to Go Thanksgiving Meal Shopping?

If someone asked, "What day is the worst to get out and do your Thanksgiving shopping?" you'd say the day before, right? You'd be wrong. The same goes for the night before Thanksgiving. Full of last-minute shoppers fighting over the last Honey Moist Roast Turkey from Butter Farms and the Pop-Up Timers, right? Nope.

It is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving you gotta watch out for. On his website, Michael Ruhlman, a close friend of the late Anthony Bourdain,  says.

“Everyone thinks that on Wednesday they will contend with nightmare crowds, so they all try to beat the rush by shopping Tuesday,” (Source)

That's pretty solid reasoning there. You THINK you're ahead of the game, but you're a day behind. Curses! Make your plans accordingly, friend.
