I need to talk about what I just experienced, what I am going to call the wild west of grocery shopping. What in the actual F?!?!?!?! Thanksgiving week at the grocery store makes me want to punch my own self in the face honestly, and if you have been, you already know. If you haven’t… protect your peace with grocery delivery. You are welcome.
I even went in prepared with an organized, detailed shopping list! I even went in prepared for it to be slightly busier than usual… not prepared enough friends! I was hydrated and optimistic- at first. This optimism lasted 11 seconds.
The produce section was every man or woman for themselves. People were grabbing sweet potatoes like they were half price Birkin bags… no joke! Meanwhile, I am just trying to survive while looking for strawberries (which I didn’t find) to make chocolate covered strawberry turkeys, vlog coming soon here- hopefully…

Don’t even get me started on the checkout line. People’s shopping carts looked like they were preparing for the apocalypse and lines were longer than those at Disneyworld!
I did make it out alive, barley. When I got home and had everything unloaded and put away, I lit a fall candle and remembered something very important. Yes, Thanksgiving grocery chaos is exhausting, but what a blessing it is to be able to shop, to have a family to cook for and plenty of food to share. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!
