Some orders may still be placed today for pickup tomorrow. Check with individual restaurants or stores. If the thought of spending your Thanksgiving in the kitchen instead of watching holiday movies or football fills you with dread, don’t despair. Grocery stores and restaurants are happy to take care of most, if not all, the work. We did the math and found that most of these dinners work out to $7.50 to $10 per person.
Some of the more basic dinners don’t include dessert, but a few hours of baking something scrumptious might be just the recipe for getting into the holiday spirit.
Remember, dinners typically come precooked and cold, so allow two to three hours at home for heating. Most outlets will take your orders online or by phone.
But, don’t delay. You’ll want to order sooner rather than later. Here are some options from meals for two to a social-distanced “full” house (or to ensure plenty of leftovers).
If you know of any grocery stores or restaurants planning to offer Thanksgiving “to-go”, please drop an email to info@milehighonthecheap.com and we’ll add to the list.
