Thanksgiving meal groceries

[pkmingo]

Does anyone know a good grocery store that might sell premade thanksgiving dinner for about 12? Thinking of maybe cooking turkey in villa ourselves but don't want to waste time on everything else. Guys want to hang out around Old Key West that day and still enjoy some of our Thanksgiving traditions. Thanks for the help!

Garden grocer does it all--turkey, sides, dessert. They deliver too. Really easy and good.

Publix should offer this. I know Goodings did years ago before they went downhill. You'll have to pick it up before Thanksgiving, though. And even with a fully cooked turkey, it takes a long time to heat up.

Publix and Whole Foods both offer this. Be sure to order in advance.

Thank you so much for all the answers. I will look into these and see who has the best deal (and hopefully yummy food!) We definitely want to get our order in as soon as they allow.

We ordered and picked up from Publix. I ordered the turkey, gravy, sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie and picked up frozen green beans, Simply Mashed potatoes (best invention EVER!) and a package of rolls. I set the cook delay on the oven to heat up the turkey (another great invention) and only had to heat the sides when we got back to the villa. Cost me about $50 for family of 5. 2A and 3C.

Yes - we also used Publix for just this purpose and they did a great job. they will stop taking orders a day or so before so be sure to give yourself some time.

We use Publix for every Thanksgiving. Their food is very good and I highly recommend.

That is good to know!! I did contact the Publix in Celebration today and they said they would have the holiday menu available in October. Thank you!

Cracker Barrel does also as does Albertson's I believe. Just realize that most of the locations will be closed on that day. I suspect CB will be open but they may not do this type of meal on Thanksgiving day. Publix and I believe Albertson's are basically pre made and frozen items. We did CB for a Xmas meal in Nashville 1.5 years ago and it was great. We had 39 people for the meal. I still have our order and an idea of how much food we had left over for the group if you need that info. I also have this email from them Nov, 2011 which will give a little more info.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.
